How to Find Your TP-Link Router LAN IP Address

Your router's IP address (also called the default gateway) is what you type into a browser to reach the admin panel, where you can manage Wi-Fi settings, run firmware updates, and configure port forwarding. Most TP-Link routers use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 as their default IP. Deco mesh systems use 192.168.68.1. This guide covers how to find your TP-Link router IP address on every major operating system, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS.

Key Takeaways

• The default IP for most TP-Link routers is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. For Deco mesh systems, the default IP is 192.168.68.1.
• On Windows, the router IP appears as "Default Gateway" in your network connection details.
• On Mac and iOS, it shows as "Router" under the TCP/IP or Wi-Fi settings.
• On Android and Chrome OS, it appears as "Gateway" in your network details.
• You can also use tplinkwifi.net (standard routers) or tplinkdeco.net (Deco) instead of the IP address to access the admin panel.
• If your default IP was changed by a network administrator, use your device's network settings to look up the current address.
• You must be connected to the router's network before you can find or use its IP address.

Default TP-Link Router LAN IP Addresses

If no one has changed your network settings, one of these default IPs will take you straight to your router's admin panel:

You can also use domain name to enter the IP directly. If neither of those loads, see why tplinkwifi.net may fail to connect for troubleshooting steps. To use the IP to log in to your router's admin panel, see how to log in to the TP-Link router web management page.
