How to find your IP address on any device

Public or private, on any phone or computer — here's where to look.

First: which IP do you want?

There are two different addresses, and the steps differ. Your public IP is what the internet sees (assigned by your ISP, shared by your whole network) — the fastest way to find it is to look at the top of this page; GetNetStats shows it instantly. Your private IP is what your router assigns to a specific device inside your home network (usually starting with 192.168. or 10.) — you find that in your device's settings, below. Most steps below find your private IP.

On Windows

  1. Open the Start menu, type Command Prompt, and open it.
  2. Type ipconfig and press Enter.
  3. Look for IPv4 Address (and IPv6, if shown) under your active connection.

Or, without the command line: Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) → your network → Properties, and find the IP address.

On macOS

  1. Open System Settings → Network.
  2. Select your active connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
  3. Your IP is in the connection details (click Details if needed).

On iPhone / iPad

  1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap the ⓘ next to your connected network.
  3. Scroll to IP Address under the IPv4 (and IPv6) section.

On Android

(Menus vary slightly by manufacturer.)

  1. Open Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi (or Connections → Wi-Fi).
  2. Tap your connected network's name or its settings gear.
  3. Find IP address in the network details. (Also under Settings → About phone → Status on many devices.)

On your router

Your router's admin page lists every device's private IP and your network's public IP. Type your gateway address (often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) into a browser and sign in. The default address and login are usually on a label on the router.

The fastest method of all

If all you want is your public IP, ISP, and rough location, skip the steps above — just open GetNetStats. It shows them in seconds, runs entirely in your browser, stores nothing, and needs no sign-up.

A note on accuracy

Whatever method you use, the location tied to your public IP is an estimate, not a precise position — usually city-level and sometimes off by a fair margin. That's normal for all IP-based location. (More in our guide on what your IP reveals.)
