How PF Router Detector Works
PF Router Detector looks at the "hops" required to get from your computer to the Internet. Each hop is an IP address. At each hop it attempts to communicate with a router. If it finds a router then it checks a keywords database to identify which kind of router it is.
Screenshots and Instructions
After downloading PF Router Detector, you run the installation file to install it on your computer.
Then you run PF Router Detector (located in the Start menu under portforward.com). It will scan your network for routers. This might take a few seconds depending on how fast your routers respond.
PF Router Detector will detect up to 2 routers and display a best guess at their brands, as well as their INTERNAL IP addresses, your EXTERNAL IP address, and your computers INTERNAL IP address.
