Kim’s Router Secrets
In a recent newsletter, it stated you could update and improve settings by typing into a browser 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 to start the process. I have tried that and it brings up nothing. And no I do not have an app for my AT&T router. Any help?

Hello Benjamin,
The two IP addresses Kim listed in her post were the most common ones used by router manufacturers. Private address ranges: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, and 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 are all available for use in private routers. To find your router’s address open a command prompt and type “ipconfig” (w/o the quotes) and press enter, the address of your router will be listed as Default Gateway. Enter that in your browser and your router will respond. If you received your router from your IP your userID and password should be listed on one of the documents left you by your provider.
You can also look up the default ID and password for first connection out of the box by looking in your manual or downloading it from the manufacturer. If that is still your router’s password change it immediately and don’t lose it.
You should definitely get a manual for your router.

Thank you Joseph – I did the command prompt but it did not provide the information. However, I did find the correct address on a placard on the router and that got me to the correct place. I was also able to download an app that will help me control things and will definitely look into getting a manual. Thank you much for your assistance.
