To view the IP address of the device connected to the router, you can refer to the following steps and formats:
1. View through the router management interface
Steps:
（1）Determine the router IP address:
- The default IP address of the router is usually `192.168.1.1` or `192.168.0.1`, but it may also vary by brand or model.
- You can determine the specific address by checking the label on the back of the router or referring to the router documentation.
（2） Access the router management interface:
- Open a web browser.
- Enter the router's IP address in the address bar.
- Press Enter.
（3） Log in:
- Enter the router administrator's username and password.
- The default username and password are usually provided on the back label or documentation of the router, but for security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the default username and password.
（4） View connected devices:
- In the router management interface, find options such as "Device", "Client" or "Connection".
- Click the relevant option to view a list of devices connected to the router.
- The list will show the name, IP address, MAC address and other information of each device.
Notes:
- Routers of different brands and models may have different management interfaces and steps. If you encounter difficulties, it is recommended to consult the manual of the router.
2. Use command line tools to view (taking Windows as an example)
Steps:
（1） Open the command prompt:
- Press Win + R keys.
- Enter `cmd` in the pop-up run box.
- Press Enter to open the command prompt window.
（2） Enter the command to view the ARP cache:
- Enter the `arp -a` command in the command prompt window.
- Press Enter to execute the command.
- After the command is executed, a list of all current ARP entries will be displayed, including the IP address and MAC address information of the devices connected to your computer or router.
Notes
- Before making any network settings or changes, make sure you understand what you are doing and act with caution.
- For network security, it is strongly recommended to change the default username and password of the router administrator regularly, and avoid using passwords that are too simple or easy to guess.
- If you are using a mobile device to connect to the router, you can also find the details of the Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to, including information such as the IP address, in the device's settings. The specific method may vary depending on the device and operating system.
