The `192.168.50.1` is your router management default gateway IP. - On macOS: open a terminal and run `netstat -nr|grep default` and it should return the default gateway IP. - - On Windows: open a command prompt and run `ipconfig` and look for the `Default Gateway` which will show you the gateway IP.
