How To Find Cisco Router IP Address

Some people have gateways others have routers. I have a router which is great because I can access it from anywhere (I use Connectify) and even though I’m not at home [I know this is kinda pointless] I can use it to host web servers or webcams. But up until now I’ve never really thought about how to find Cisco router IP address or frankly any router IP address.

Nowadays Cisco router is one of the most demanding network services. This is widely used for IP Communication. Cisco router has a default IP Address.

You cannot access the Cisco router’s setup page without using this IP Address.
