Remote access to the Linksys router is similar to the local Linksys router login. However, the IP address varies here.

Use these steps to find the Linksys router’s internet IP:

Using Command Prompt:

• Type cmd in the search bar of Windows PC.
• Open Command Prompt.
• Type ipconfig and press Enter.
• The IP address next to Default Gateway is what you need to use.

Using Control Panel:

• Go to Control Panel on your computer.
• Under the Network and Internet option, select View network status and tasks.
• Select your network name.
• Click Details on the new window that pops up.
• The IP address is mentioned next to the IPv4 Default Gateway.
