Checking the DHCP table of the router

Some VoIP adapters don't have a function to find the IP address through the phone connected to it. Instead, you will have to login to your router to find the IP address.
This page shows some example of where in the router settings to check the list of IP addresses assigned to devices connected to it.
Once you find the list of DHCP leases in your router, try them one by one until you find the device you're looking for.
