192.168.100.1 is a private IP address that is assigned to any device on your local network. It is also assigned as the default IP address for some model routers.
You can manually assign this IP for any device on the local network which is configured to use this address pool such as a laptop, smart TV, mobile phone, computer, tablet, and Chromecast.
As I said earlier, this is the default IP address for some routers integrated to produce.
Note: It is easy to be confused 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.1.100.
Here’s the key:

Note: the majority of routers don’t use 192.168.100.1 as a default IP address. Instead, they use 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.254, and 192.168.10.1.

If a router’s DHCP range starts at the address 192.168.1.1, tens of thousands of addresses in this range with lower numbers like 192.168.100.1 are not used.
Administrators usually assign 192.168.100.1 as the first address in the range of DHCP in order to use 192.168.100.1 as well as 192.168.100.2, 192.168.100.3, and so on.
