Honest by design: your IP location is an estimate, and the Wi-Fi Signal above is derived from real latency & throughput — not your router's radio signal.

// how it works

Three steps, about ten seconds

GetNetStats runs entirely in your browser — no app, no sign-up, nothing stored. Hit run and the scanner walks through three live measurements.

01
Detect your IP
We read the public IP address, ISP and approximate location your network presents — instantly, with nothing stored.
02
Measure latency
Warm round-trips to a global content-delivery network clock your real ping and jitter — the numbers that matter for calls and gaming.
03
Test real speed
Live byte streams up and down the wire measure your true download and upload throughput, then score overall connection quality.
The network toolkit

Every network check in one place and always free.

What is an IP address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is the unique number your network uses to send and receive data online. The public IP shown at the top of this page is the one your router presents to the wider internet — assigned by your ISP — while each device in your home keeps a separate private IP that never leaves your network.

IPv4 vs IPv6: what's the difference?

The internet is mid-migration between two addressing systems. IPv4 is the original 32-bit format and is running out of room; IPv6 is its 128-bit successor, with effectively unlimited addresses. Most networks now run both side by side.

How to find your IP address on any device

Your public IP is shown at the top of this page instantly. To find a specific device's private IP, check its network settings — ipconfig on Windows, Settings → Wi-Fi on phones, or your router's admin page.

How to hide your IP address

Your public IP can reveal your approximate location and ISP. The common ways to mask it are a VPN — which encrypts your traffic and replaces your IP, the practical pick for everyday privacy Get NordVPN — a proxy, or Tor for stronger anonymity at the cost of speed.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

How does GetNetStats find my IP address?
Your browser makes a normal request to our lookup endpoint, and the public IP your network presents on that request is read back to you. It happens in your browser — we don't require an account and don't store your address.
Can a website really see my WiFi signal strength?
No. Browsers deliberately don't expose WiFi radio signal to web pages. Our "Connection quality" score is an estimate built from your real latency, measured throughput, and the Network Information API — not a reading of your router's signal. For true signal bars, use your device's WiFi menu.
Is the speed test accurate?
It streams real data to and from a global content-delivery network and measures actual throughput, so it reflects what your browser can really do right now. Results naturally vary with WiFi interference, other devices on your network, the time of day, and server load — run it a few times for a representative figure.
Why do speed tests disagree with each other?
Run two speed tests back-to-back and you'll often get different numbers — and neither is "wrong." Each one measures against different servers, over different routes, using different methods, and your connection shifts moment to moment as other devices use it. A speed test is an honest snapshot, not a fixed number. For the clearest picture, run any tool a few times and look at the range.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 is the original 32-bit addressing scheme (about 4.3 billion addresses, now exhausted); IPv6 is the 128-bit successor with a practically unlimited pool. Most connections run both — GetNetStats shows whichever your network presents, and your IPv6 address too when available.
Does GetNetStats store or sell my data?
No. The tools run client-side in your browser, there's no sign-up, and we don't sell personal data. Ads on the page are how the free tools stay free.
Why is my IP different here than on another tool?
Common reasons: you're on a VPN or proxy, you're seeing an IPv6 address on one tool and IPv4 on another, or your ISP uses carrier-grade NAT that shares one public IP across many customers. All are normal.
How do I hide my IP address?
Route your traffic through a VPN (the most practical choice), a proxy server, or the Tor network. Each replaces your visible IP with the intermediary's. Reload this page afterward to confirm the change took effect. Get NordVPN
Is GetNetStats free to use?
Yes — every tool is free, with no account and no limits. The site is supported by the ads you see alongside the results.
