Router manufacturers assign default Private IP addresses to their router devices. Although 192.168.0.100 is not as common as the widely used router address 192.168.1.1, some broadband router models and access points choose to use this address, including certain Netgear models and printers from SerComm and USRobotics.
What is the IP address 192.168.0.100? What is an IP address?
This IP address is used to configure routers or other devices by accessing their administrative control panel. For more detailed information about the IP address 192.168.0.100, refer to the article below by Mytour.
What is the IP address 192.168.0.100?
192.168.0.100 is an IP address within the range of 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255. Home networks utilize this address range. Routers may automatically assign the address 192.168.0.100 to any device (including laptops, mobile devices, etc.) on the local network.
Within the address range 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255, 192.168.0.100 is a Private IP address (RFC 1918 standard). Addresses like 192.168.0.100 are not public Internet addresses.
To connect a private network to the Internet, one must use a proxy server or gateway.
Why are addresses like 192.168.0.100 so common?
As mentioned earlier, the IP address 192.168.0.100 is part of the private Class C network. This network class ranges from 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255, allowing for up to 65,535 IP addresses.
This range is often used in private networks because many routers are configured to use either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 as the default IP address. When connecting to this network on tablets, mobile devices, or laptops, you will likely receive an IP address like 192.168.0.100.
Accessing the Router
All routers can be accessed through a web browser. If your router's IP address is 192.168.0.100, enter http://192.168.0.100 into the browser's address bar. The login page will appear, and the most common username and password are: admin and 1234, respectively, or no username.
Finding the Router's IP Address
The router's IP address is usually printed on the box or underneath the device. If not, you can search for the router's IP address on your computer.
Find the Default IP Address of the Router
To discover the default IP address of the router, we use the ipconfig utility in Windows. Follow the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the Search box in the Start Menu.
Step 2: Type cmd into it, from the search results, click on Command Prompt as shown below:
Step 3: In the Command Prompt window, enter the command ipconfig to display a list of all connections on your computer.
Step 4: The router's IP address is the Default Gateway address in the Local Area Connection section.
Find the IP Address of the Printer (Default Printer Address)
Usually, to get the default IP address of the printer, we access Control Panel =>Devices and Printers, right-click on the printer, and select Printer Properties. The IP address is displayed in the tab General under the Location section or the tab Ports.
Automatic Assignment of IP Address 192.168.0.100
Usually, routers automatically assign the address 192.168.0.100 to devices on the network. In some cases, admins may configure the router to use 192.168.0.1 as the default address, reserving 192.168.0.100 as the starting address in the DHCP range. This allows the first device on the network to obtain an address ending in a memorable round number (100) instead of the next sequential address (2).
Alternatively, admins might configure the router to reserve IP addresses 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.99 for client devices, keeping 192.168.0.100 for static IP assignment.
Manually Assigning the IP Address 192.168.0.100
Most network devices, including computers and game consoles, enable manual IP address assignment. Enter the address 192.168.0.100 in the device configuration window. However, this alone is not sufficient to ensure the device will function. Additionally, the local network router must be configured to use the address 192.168.0.100 within the IP address range.
Avoiding IP Address Conflicts
Advice for admins is not to assign this address (or any address) within the router's DHCP range. IP address conflict errors can arise if the router assigns an address that is already in use. Check the router control interface settings window to identify the DHCP pool that has been used. The router determines this range by utilizing various settings, including:
- Network mask: The router's subnet defines the minimum and maximum allowed Private IP addresses.
- Initial Address: the starting point of the range (used to limit within the subnet).
- Maximum Guest Count: an additional limit enforced by some routers beyond the mask.
