Find your private IP address

When you are connected to the internet, your device is assigned a private IP address by the router in your local network. In other words, different devices connected to the same local network have different private IP addresses. A device’s private IP address is not the same as its public IP address, which is used to address it by devices outside your local network.

Knowing your private IP address is helpful for configuring network-related settings.

1. Click the Windows logo in the lower-left corner of the screen. Search for “cmd” and select Command Prompt.

Search for “cmd” and click “Command Prompt.”

2. In the Command Prompt, type
ipconfig
Hit Enter.

3. Your device’s private IP address will appear next to IPv4 Address.

Your device’s private IP address will be shown next to “IPv4 Address.”
