Alternatively, if you don’t know which IP address a router has, you can
set a computer to DHCP, let it pick up an IP address from the router,
and look at the gateway IP address (for example, in the output from
/sbin/route).

That pretty much has to be the router’s IP address – the only other way
it could work would be if the router itself had multiple internal IP
addresses, which is sufficiently pointless and adds enough extra
complexity that no-one bothers with it.

Hope this helps,

James.
