What Is a Router IP (Default Gateway)?

Devices reach the internet through the router's door. The router assigns itself a private representative address — your default gateway. The router's public IP faces the ISP; the private gateway IP faces devices inside your home.

Factory defaults commonly use: - **ipTIME:** `192.168.0.1` (very common in Korea) - **TP-Link:** `192.168.1.1` or `tplinkwifi.net` - **Netgear:** `192.168.1.1` or `routerlogin.net` - **ASUS:** `192.168.1.1` or `router.asus.com` - **KT Home Hub:** `172.30.1.254` - **SK Broadband router:** `192.168.219.1` - **LG U+ router:** `192.168.219.1` or `192.168.123.254`
