An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. There are two types of IP addresses you might need to find:

  1. Private IP Address: Used within your local network.
  2. Public IP Address: Used to identify your network on the internet.

To find the IP address of your router, follow the steps below.
