Here what I am planning is to write a complete guide for steps to login to any router irrespective of manufacturers and providers. Hope this will be useful for my readers. First step we need to find out before start configuring our router/ modem is to find the IP address of that device. It is because in order to log in to the router/Modem we need to know the IP address of the device.
