Find Your Router’s IP Address

To change or tweak the features in your wireless router, you are required to use a special configuration utility that can only be accessed by typing the router’s IP address into your Web browser (like Internet Explorer). If you don’t know what your router’s IP address is, try one of the three methods listed below:

a. Consult Your Manual

Most user guides, manuals, or instructions that come with a router indicate what IP address should be used. If you don’t have these documents or if they don’t mention anything about IP addresses, try one of the other methods.

b. Try a Common Address

The first thing you should try is one of the common, default IP addresses used by many routers:
• 192.168.1.1
• 192.168.0.1
• 192.168.2.1

c. Look in Windows

You can determine your IP address by looking inside Windows. This requires you to be connected to your wireless network. Follow these steps to look up the address:
1. Double-click the wireless icon located in the lower-right corner of Windows. The wireless connection status window opens.
2. Click the Support tab.
3. View the Default Gateway value. This is the IP address of your router.

Set a Static IP for Your Router If Necessary

When you are setting up your wireless router, contact your Internet provider and ask them if they require a static, unchanging IP address. If so, you will have to enter it into your router before you can connect to the Internet. If you aren’t required to use a static IP address, make sure your router is using a feature known as DHCP. Fortunately, most routers have this turned on by default.

Follow these steps to set up a static IP address:

1. Log in to your wireless router's configuration utility, as follows:

a. Make sure you are connected to your wireless network.Test this by hovering your mouse pointer over the wireless icon located in the lower-right corner of Windows. A message should indicate your connected status.
b. Open a Web browser like Internet Explorer. If your router is not connected to the Internet, your browser will not find a valid Web page. Instead, it displays an error message that says something like "Page cannot be displayed" or "Page not found".
c. In your Web browser’s address window (the place where you usually type the name of a website you want to visit), type your router’s IP address then press the Enter key. Do not type http:// or www. Instead, only type the number for your IP address.
d. A login box appears. If you created a username and password when you initially set up your router, type them into the login box. If you didn’t create a username or password, look for the default ones listed in your wireless router’s instructions or manuals.

Now that you have access to your router just find the port section and type the port's in and allow them.
Wow that was easy wasn't it.
Another way to do this also is by finding a program called pfconfig.
Well hope this guide helps.

Great work, danny, but I think that you forgot about something . hmmm ;p. I wanted to write such a guide, but you are first :P

I will post a better 1 later it was kind of crappy i know. I was doing a quick 1.

Can someone please help. I've port forwarded a modem like last week and everything was working then I got a modem with a wifi router combined in it. Here's the details of my problem:
 

I checked and 192.168.1.64 is what came up when I did the run thing.

I believe that I am forwarding the ports to that IP, but no luck? If someone wouldn't mind taking a look at http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/2wire/2701HG-B/default.htm that shows the guide I followed at PortForward.com. It shows the instructions and has images that accompany them so you can see exactly what I did.

Does that guide Port Forward the ports to 192.168.1.64? Because this is similarly how I did it for my old modem and it worked. Again help appreciated and thank you so much already Sordie.

Edit: I also downloaded PortForward.com's Port checking tool and it checks 192.168.1.64 and it says that Port 8078 is open.

So does anyone know what's wrong?

This guide works for all router's wifi or not it dosent matter. depending on the make just change ip address.

I know that. And i've basically followed this and i've done it before, but what my post above is saying is I don't know why it's not working this time..

If this isn't working for you than try a program called pfconfig i will try to post it on here later for download.

Is it free?

I will give the serial number along with it when i post it ok.

pfconfig isn't free. If you post a serial number here then you will be banned.
