If you have a computer plugged into the router by an ethernet cord then in theory you should be able find it in the command prompt. Go to Start > Run and then in the Run window type CMD. In Vista or Windows 7, go to the Start Orb and then type CMD into the Search bar, then Right+click the CMD icon that shows up in the list, then select "Run As Administrator." Ok, now that command prompt is open, type IPCONFIG /ALL and press enter. This will bring up a list of all of your connections. Scroll through them and look for Default Gateway (that is the IP address of your router).

This may sound like a joke, but even the new Draft-N routers give pretty bad pings when playing online. If this is the case for you and you want to increase performance because you are playing online (People, try being a little more specific and not posting just general question...), then your best bet will be to move the router over to your gaming computer and have the rest of the computer wireless.
