Type “ipconfig” into the command screen to pull up the device’s configuration information. The router’s default gateway will be listed near the top of the command screen, underneath the subnet mask. The default gateway address has been determined.

Click the Advanced button in the network dialogue box and open the TCP/IP tab to view the network configuration settings. Record the default gateway address and exit the dialogue box. The default gateway has been located.

Use the default username and password if prompted. The default username and password will vary depending on the device being used and the Internet service provider. However, in most cases, the default user name will be “admin” and the password will also be “admin. " In some cases, the default user name has been set to “Administration” and no password has been set. Enter the device’s default username and password if prompted when attempting to access the router. Try pressing enter immediately after entering the default user name. If prompted again for a username and password, type “admin” in both the username and password fields and press enter again.
