What is the LAN IP Address of a Router
The LAN IP Address of a router is also known as its internal IP address. It is also the IP address that you connect to when you want to configure your router. It is only useful from inside your network and has no use from the Internet side.
Routers have 2 IP addresses: an internal ip address and an external ip address. The external IP address is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider, or ISP, and is generally not something that you can change. The internal IP address is set to a default value at the factory but can be changed if you want.
Common internal IP addresses for routers are:
- 192.168.0.1
- 192.168.1.1
- 10.0.0.1
It is generally a good idea to make the last number of your router's internal IP address a '1', as in 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1. This is not necessary, but many people do it and it makes it a bit easier to remember which IP address is assigned to your router. If you want to change the internal IP address of your router, this guide shows you how.

Change the LAN IP Address on a Hawking HWRN1A
If you followed our login guide above then you should see this screen.
After logging into the Hawking HWRN1A you start on the Status and Information page. The first step to changing your IP Address, the address you are actually looking at while inside your network, is to click Local Network.
Configure the LAN section of your Hawking HWRN1A
Now, the first box should be IP Address, place your cursor here. This is where you will enter your new IP Address you have chosen for your Router. Our suggestion is to use 192.168.1.1
The Subnet Mask should, in most all cases, remain at 255.255.255.0, you should also leave the DHCP Server enabled.
When you are finished, save your changes.
Possible Problems when Changing your LAN IP Address
When you change your LAN IP Address you are making a fundamental change to how your network functions and all computers on your network will be affected. You will lose your Internet connection when you apply these changes. Your router may reboot and require a couple of minutes to start responding again.
Also note that some computers may need to be rebooted after you make this change before they can talk to the router or on the Internet again.
