One side faces the public internet and another side handles internal communication within the network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two <strong>sides<\/strong> are where the concept of private and public <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/types-of-ip-address-functions-and-uses-of-different-ips\/\">IP addresses<\/a> emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Private_IP_Address\"><\/span>Private IP Address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A private IP address is what identifies each device connected to your Wi-Fi router on the local network. Your phone, laptop, the devices of your family members, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/how-do-i-find-the-ip-address-for-my-tv\/\">smart TV all have a unique private IP address<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assigning a unique IP to each device helps your router identify which device is sending or receiving a particular message. We call this IP private because it only stays within your home\u2019s network; the outside world cannot see it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Private IP addresses always fall into the following specific ranges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>192.168.x.x<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10.x.x.x<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you see an IP that starts with any of those numbers, you know it&#8217;s a private IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Public-IP-address-1024x390.png\" alt=\"geoPlugin screenshot from WhatIsMyIPAddress showing the IP address search bar.\" class=\"wp-image-3147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Public-IP-address-1024x390.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Public-IP-address-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Public-IP-address-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Public-IP-address.png 1263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_IP_Address\"><\/span>Public IP Address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since private IPs have to stay within the local network, the public IP connects you with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a device on your local network tries to access the internet, it sends a request using its private IP. But your WiFi router steps in and replaces the private IP with its own public IP address. This process is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmware.com\/topics\/network-address-translation\">Network Address Translation (NAT)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All devices on your local network use the same public IP address, which represents your entire network to the outside. So, when you visit a website, you can see this public-facing IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_57731455_L-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"geoPlugin screenshot from Depositphotos showing a WiFi router with three antennas.\" class=\"wp-image-3149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_57731455_L-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_57731455_L-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_57731455_L-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_57731455_L-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_57731455_L-1568x1176.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_57731455_L.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_I_Find_My_IP_Address_on_WiFi_Windows_macOS\"><\/span>How Can I Find My IP Address on WiFi?
