I saw 192.168.1.245 in my router’s device list, and I had no idea which gadget it was. The number looked like a router login, but I was not sure if it was safe to open it. This guide explains what 192.168.1.245 is, how to find which device uses it, and how to reach your real router login.
192.168.1.245 is a private address assigned to a device on your home network. It is not your router’s login page.

What is 192.168.1.245?
192.168.1.245 is a private IP address that a router gives to a device on the home network. It sits in the same range as the router itself, which is why the number looks familiar.
In my experience, the address usually belongs to something you already own: a phone, a camera, a printer, a smart TV or a game console. The router hands these addresses out as devices join, and it takes them back when a device leaves.
How to find which device uses 192.168.1.245
The fastest way to find the device is in your router. I check the device list first, because it shows the name of each device next to its address.
- Open your router’s admin page and sign in.
- Open the list of connected or attached devices.
- Look for 192.168.1.245 and read the device name next to it.
- If the list shows a MAC address instead of a name, try the device’s own app or settings to match it.
If the device is not in the list, it has probably left the network. The address can then be given to a different device, which is normal on a home network.
How to reach your router login instead
To change Wi-Fi settings or the router password, you need the router’s own address, not a device address. On a 192.168.1.x network the router login is usually at 192.168.1.1.
Type it in your browser while you are on the home network, then sign in with the details on the label of your router. If your router is a different brand, find its login guide on our router brands page.
In my own home, I keep a short note with the router address and password in the same place as the other home notes. It saves me from searching for it each time I need to change a setting or check a device.
If 192.168.1.245 will not open in your browser
Opening 192.168.1.245 in a browser shows nothing, or the page times out. That is normal. The address belongs to a device, not to a web page.
If you expected a login page, you have the wrong address. If you are not sure which address your router uses, try our Router IP Finder. It shows the address to open for your own network.
