Learn 192.168.0.100 IP address for local network

192.168.0.100 is a Private IP address, meaning it is used exclusively on private networks where it will be the IP address of the router or one of the devices on the network.

The router manufacturer assigns its routers a default Private IP address. 192.168.0.100 address is not a popular router address, but some broadband router models and access points use it (and some other devices), including some Netgear models and some phones printed by SerComm and USRobotics.

Use this IP address to configure your router or other devices by accessing their administrative control panel.

How do IP Private addresses work?

IP addresses on private networks cannot be accessed directly from the Internet, but can be used to allow any device on the local network to connect to any other device on that network.

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages IP addresses and has reserved a specific group for Private IPs. That is:

1. 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
2. 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
3. 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Private IP addresses cannot be used by any website or device on a wider Internet network or other local networks. For example, the ping to this address will work if it is created by another device on the local network, but will not work if it is done from outside the network.

For this reason, Private IP addresses do not need to be unique, except in their local network.

Note that there is nothing special for any Private IP address - a device on the local network does not achieve performance or is better protected when using 192.168.0.100 as the address, compared to any other location. only any other.

Access the router's administrative control panel

You can configure your router or other device by accessing the administrative control panel. In general, this is not necessary because the device's default settings will usually be appropriate. However, if you want to configure the router - for example, to change the default IP address or assign a specific address to a device on the network - you can access it by entering the IP address into the address bar. Browser URL, as follows:

 http://192.168.9.100 

This will launch the device's admin panel. You will be prompted to enter a username and password combination. The router comes with the default username / password. Username is usually "admin" or "user", while the password can also be "admin", "user" or "1234". Some manufacturers' devices do not have a default username or password, so you can access your control panel simply by clicking this dialog.

You may not know

Always set a strong username and password in the router's control panel to prevent someone on the local network from changing settings.

Find the device's IP address

The IP address of your device is usually printed on the box or on the back of the device. If you can't find it, you can access it from your computer.

For specific ways to do this, please refer to the article: How to determine the device IP address on the local network.

How to find the printer's IP address (the printer's default IP)

You can usually get the printer's default IP by accessing Devices and Printers in Control Panel (by right-clicking on the printer and selecting Printer Properties). Typically, the IP address is displayed on the Location field of the General tab or on the Ports tab .

For specific ways to do this, please refer to the article: Instructions on how to check and install the IP address for the printer.

Allocate 192.168.0.100 IP address automatically

The common use of 192.168.0.100 address is because a router automatically assigns it to a device on the network. For example, admin sometimes configures routers with the default IP address 192.168.0.1 to use 192.168.0.100 as the start address of the DHCP strip. This allows the first device on the network to receive an address that ends with a number that is easier to remember (100) instead of the next address in the string (2). In addition, the admin sometimes configures the IP range for the router's client from 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.99 to 192.168.0.100 to assign a static IP address.

'Manual transfer' IP address 192.168.0.100

Most network devices including computers and game consoles allow manually setting IP addresses. The address "192.168.0.100" or 4 digits groups 192, 168, 0 and 100 must be entered into the configuration screen on the device. However, just entering this number does not guarantee that it will work for the device. The local network router must also be configured to include 192.168.0.100 within its IP address. You can view the IP address range in the administrative control panel as discussed above.

Avoid IP address conflicts

Administrators should avoid manually assigning this address (or any address) within the router's DHCP address range. Otherwise, IP address conflicts may result in the router assigning an already used address. Check the router's console settings to determine which DHCP group it used. Routers determine this range using a combination of several settings including:

1. Network mask - The subnet of the router determines the minimum and maximum private IP addresses allowed.
2. Start address - The start number of the range (used to continue to limit the subnet).
3. Maximum number of clients - an additional limit that some routers implement outside the mask.
