Now that I have shown the GUI method, let’s go to the terminal route. Your system and all other devices on your network connect to the router using this IP address. Default Route is the IP address of your router You’ll also see an entry named ‘Default Route’. You can also see the saved wifi password under the security tab. It will open a new window with several details about your connection such as the IP address, DNS, and Mac address. Here, click on the little settings symbol beside your currently used network. Now go to Wi-Fi or Network (if you are using a wired, Ethernet connection). If you use some other desktop environments, screenshots may look different. I am using GNOME desktop with Ubuntu here. Method 1: Get the router’s IP address in Linux using GUI While I cannot help you with the username and password of your router, I can surely tell you how to get its IP.Īs always, I’ll show both GUI and command-line methods. And the simplest way is to type the router's IP address in a web browser and then use the router’s username and password.
Why do you need it? Well, if you need to change the SSID, password, or other configuration of your wi-fi/network, you have to connect to it.
I am talking about the default gateway IP which your Linux desktop uses to connect to it. I am not talking about the public-facing IP which you can get by connecting to websites like Show My IP or simply searching for ‘what is my ip’ in DuckDuckGo. You probably already know how to get your system’s IP address in Linux.īut how do you know the IP address of your router?
