Linksys Wireless Router IP Address

Wireless routers are by design complex devices because they need to be setup and configured to work with a network and other devices that will attach to the wireless network. To setup a Linksys wireless router, you need to know its IP address so you can access the router's configuraton console to set it up.

What's The IP Address?

If you can't remember or find your Linksys wireless router IP address, then try any one of the following Linksys wireless router IP addresses that are known to be used with several Linksys wireless router models:

1. 192.168.0.1
2. 192.168.1.1
3. 192.168.1.225
4. 192.168.1.226
5. 192.168.1.245
6. 192.168.1.246
7. 192.168.1.251

Make sure your Linksys Wireless Router is powered up and connected to your computer. Switch on your computer and open your web browser. Type in the IP address in the URL text box of the web browser and press the Enter or Return key. If the IP address is correct, you should see a web page with Linksys on it and the setup console entry page.
