How to obtain a fiber optic IP address for your router

You can access your fiber optic router's IP address by checking the “Default Gateway” on your device or using the router's admin panel, typically via a web browser.Understanding Router IP Addresses

A fiber optic router has two main IP addresses:

  • Private IP (LAN): Used to access the router's settings within your home network.
  • Public IP (WAN): Assigned by your ISP and visible to the internet. For configuration, you need the private IP .

  1. Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
  2. In Command Prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
