How to determine the external IP without admin access (WNR2200)
Hi there,
is there a way to determine the external IP (i.e. the one assigned by the internet provider) without having to have the admin credentials to the router? I know that is displayed on the start page of the extended settings, but that requires the admin login.
Background is that I created a port forwarding rule (Minecraft, for my son) for that he can host a server once in a while. Our "old" router (now dead) displayed the external IP right on the start page, i.e. we could determine the IP without actually having to login - handy in case I am not around. For the sake of completeness, I do not want to use a DynDNS account (or something similar) for security reasons.

... and I got an answer from an unexpected side: regardless of the router used the website myexternalip.com gives you the IP under which you're "seen" in the internet. For my purposes that's sufficient, so feel free to close the topic.
