Accessing our Router Dashboard

Connecting our web server to the internet will require gaining access to our router's administrative dashboard. We can find our routers address by using the command:

ip -o route show | grep default | perl -nle 'if ( /via\s+(\S+)/ ) {print $1}'

Going to our web browser, we can enter the IP address returned by our command:

ip -o route show | grep default | perl -nle 'if ( /via\s+(\S+)/ ) {print $1}'

Finding your routers up address

Look for "Gateway" address

Some routers may require an app to access all configuration settings.
