Re: Figuring Out Internet Speed--finding the IP address

Even with JAWS 11 you have to use the jaws cursor to read the info otherwise you have to listen to it read everything which takes a while. Also for those using the JAWS cursor the default gateway you come to first, moving up from the bottom might not say anything but keep going up and there is a second entry higher up.

Hi,
Especially if you are using a router with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) with it, which in this case ipconfig would return the router's IP address, not the address of the actual modem. Also, in connection with JFW, 
you need 6.0 and higher to read cmd screen properly (others require JAWS
cursor and/or virtualized window mode).
Cheers,
Joseph

Just an additional note on this.. The default gateway may or may not be the 

same address as the diagnostic address of your internet connection device.
In my case, it is not and additional efforts are necessary to find this
address.  Your ISP most likely can tell you or an internet search on the
type of device or the good old reference manual for the device may be
necessary..
Good luck!!

To find the IP address--192.168.what?

1.  Go to Run, windows key plus r
2.  type cmd and press enter to get to what used to be the DOS prompt.
3.  Type cd\ (c d backslash) to get to the c prompt
4.  Type ipconfig and press enter.
5.  Among the information returned will be the default gateway, which is
your IP address.  I think you ignore the numbers following the last
period.
6.  To get back to windows, type exit.

Many Motorola units (including mine) use 192.168.100.1.

Some routers have slightly different IP addresses try 196.168.1.1 or
192.168.1.0.

Hi,

The fastest and technical way is:

From Internet Explorer (or any browser) window, go to address bar then
type 192.168.0.1. You should hopefully land at the webpage about your
DSL/cable modem/routerr. The upstream and downstream is the actual
Internet connection speed (most likely the upstream speed, the speed at
which your computer connects to the Internet).

Cheers,

Joseph

Howdy,



Just out of curiosity, does anyone know a good way to figure out internet
speed?  There are times when I'd like to figure out how fast things are
coming in or downloading from a couple of different places, including my
home.



If you guys know of a way, let me know.
