JFat asked:


I need to access the wireless router on my network and I don’t have any idea what the ip adress is, is there a way to search the network for all devices connected to it?
Its the thing that the laptop connects to wirelessly to connect to the network. I do NOT want the ip adress of my computer or the default gateway i want the ip of the router.

    Go to Start, then Accessories, then a command prompt.

    At the prompt, type “ipconfig /all”.

    You’ll then see a “Local Area Connection” or “Wireless LAN connection”. The line that says “default gateway” is the IP address of your router.

    If you really need to scan everything on your network, try a program called LanGuard (I think - may have renamed it now) from a company called GFI (http://www.gfi.com/). It can come up with some quite interesting results.

    Go to Start > run > type cmd > the type ipconfig /all

    look for the gateway - that ip is your router’s IP address

    Check out the network connection properties of the connection you are using to connect to the router. Under the DHCP server, the IP of the wireless router is listed. If you don’t have a DHCP server, try the IP for the Default Gateway.

    You can access your network connection properties in Windows XP by going to the Network Connections in the Control Panel, right-clicking the connection being used, clicking Properties, and clicking on the Advanced tab in the window that pops up. In Vista, go to the Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel, click “View status” next to the connection being used, and click on Details.
