, click the TCP/IP tab, and note the address next to the “Router” heading.
Linux — Open a terminal and type in “ip r”.
The last set of numbers is the router’s IP address.
If you see a slash and another number at the end of the IP address (e. g. , 192. 168. 1. 12/32), your computer may be identified by two addresses (e. g. , 192. 168. 1. 12 and 192. 168. 1. 32).
While doing this isn’t strictly necessary, it can help prevent errors down the road.
If there’s any text in the address bar, remove it before proceeding.
For example, you might type something like 192. 168. 1. 1 here.
If you don’t know the login information, don’t panic—most routers require you to log in using factory-default credentials (e. g. , “admin” for the username and “password” for the password). You can usually find these credentials on the back/side of the router or in the router’s manual. If you can’t find the router’s sticker or its manual, you can check the router’s model number online to see what common login credentials are.
You may need to navigate through some on-screen setup prompts or a tutorial if this is your first time opening the router’s page.

This should be the “IPv4” address you found in the same menu as the router’s address.
For specific instructions regarding setting a static IP address on your model of router, read the router’s manual or online documentation.

If you don’t see the “Port Forwarding” section on the main page, look in the Settings or Advanced Settings section. Once again, you can consult your router’s specific documentation for the proper instructions on using your router’s port forwarding feature.
If you don’t see this option, just look for a second “Port” text field on the right side of the list.
