How do I access my modem settings on Android?

How do I find modem IP address?

I am using a wireless router and I need to configure the modem/router as a DHCP server so that the laptop connected to it can get an IP address.

How do I find the modem's IP address? I am not able to configure it on any web browser. Most likely the modem is behind a router and it's the router which is acting as the DHCP server. In that case you'll want to go into your modem's settings and look for DHCP options.

How do I find the IP address of my modem on my phone?

Contents. There are several methods of doing this, many of which depend on the version of Android you're running, and the operating system you're using on your device. They all use a feature of Android called "IP over USB", or "IPoU".

Method 1: Open Settings. Open Settings, then select More from the drop-down menu in the top-right corner. Scroll down to TCP/IP Settings, and tap it. Scroll down and select Automatically Detect, then scroll back up and select Use Automatically Detected Settings. Scroll down and select your Network Mode. For wired networks, leave the Wireless setting as Automatic and select Use a Mobile Network, which will cause your phone to connect to your network. Note that for a wired network, the phone will connect to your router via the same port that it would if the phone were connected directly to the router via an Ethernet cable. Note that if you're unsure of the exact name of the router, select DHCP and DNS. Then, after connecting to the router with the above settings, try to access any website (or web service) on the Internet by typing in the URL directly into the browser. If you can get a result (HTTP 200 OK) it means that you have an IP address and that you can use your wireless Internet connection.

This is not the same as the IP address your modem gives you, but if the IP address is different, it may be possible to identify the correct IP address by referring to Google's public IP address search service. (However, if your provider has assigned you multiple IP addresses, even using the public search service may not work.)

If that still doesn't help, you may need to log into your router to see its configuration. Method 2: Open Browser. Open the browser (it will probably be the only app on your phone) and type in "" (replacing "myrouteraddress" with the IP address of your router). You should see the default page from your router's control panel (that page also says which IP address it was assigned when it was set up).
