How to find your IP address on any device
Step-by-step for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and your router.
There are two different IP addresses you might be looking for, and devices show them in different places:
- Your public IP is the address websites see. It belongs to your router or mobile network. The quickest way to find it is our home page.
- Your private (local) IP is the address your router gives this one device, usually starting with
192.168.,10., or172.The steps below show where to find it.
Windows 11
- Open Settings and choose Network & internet.
- Select Wi-Fi or Ethernet, then select your connection's properties.
- Look for IPv4 address.
Faster: open Command Prompt, type ipconfig, and press Enter. Your address is listed as IPv4 Address under your active adapter.
Mac
- Open System Settings and choose Network.
- Select Wi-Fi (or your wired connection), then Details next to the network you're on.
- Your address is shown under TCP/IP as IP address.
Faster: open Terminal and run ipconfig getifaddr en0. If nothing appears, try en1.
iPhone and iPad
- Open Settings and tap Wi-Fi.
- Tap the ⓘ button next to the network you're connected to.
- Scroll to IP Address under IPv4 Address.
Android

- Tap Internet or Wi-Fi, then tap the gear or the name of your network.
- Look for IP address. You may need to tap Advanced.
Menu names vary between phone brands. If you can't find it, search "IP address" in the Settings search bar.
Your router
Your router's admin page shows its public (WAN) address. Type your router's address, often 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, into a browser and sign in with the details printed on the router's label. Look for a status or internet page.
