About this guide

Every device in your home network has its own address, given out by the router. You need it to set up a printer, share a folder, forward a port or work out which device is which in the router's list.

Good to know

This is your private address, valid only inside your own network. It usually begins with 192.168, 10 or 172. It can change when the router hands out addresses again.

The public address, under which websites see your whole household, is something else. Search the web for what is my IP to see it.

An address that starts with 169.254 means the PC got no answer from the router. See Windows 11 Wi-Fi not working: 8 fixes to try or Ethernet not working on Windows 11: 6 fixes to try.

On a Mac: how to find your IP address on a Mac.

In short: Settings, Network & internet, Properties, IPv4 address. Or Terminal and ipconfig.
