Find Your Cisco RV042G Router IP Address
In order to login to the Cisco RV042G router, we need to know it's internal IP address.
| Known RV042G IP Addresses |
|---|
| 192.168.1.1 |
Pick one of these IP addresses and then follow the rest of this guide.
If later on in this guide you do not find your router using the IP address that you pick, then you can try different IP addresses until you get logged in. I will not hurt anything to try different IP addresses.
If you try all of the above IP addresses and still cannot find your router, then you have the following options:
- Check our out Find Your Router's Internal IP Address guide.
- Use our free software called Router Detector.
After you find your router's internal IP Address, it is time to try logging in to it.
