You can think of an IP Address as the common language and mode of communication between two or any greater number of systems, enabling exchange of data of any kind, from any location. It generally follows the following basic steps:

• The device you are using to connect to the internet will do so indirectly through a medium already connected to the internet.
• Generally, such a body is known as an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
• It is the duty of an ISP to collect all your network activity, track it’s usage and forward the information back to you.
• Since an ISP is the one overseeing the entire network activity, it is their duty to assign your device an IP Address and to also ensure a secure and enjoyable surfing experience.

It should also be noted that an IP Address is not permanent or finalised in nature and can easily be changed under any of the following circumstances:

• When you turn your router on and off, the restarting procedure can suddenly change your IP Address. This is a normal procedure and there is nothing to be worried about.
• You can also specifically request a change of your IP Address to your ISP based on your personal interest or need and they can make it happen.
• When you are shifting or moving to a new location, or when you are connecting your device, which was originally a part of a different local network into a new LAN, the IP Address is bound to change.
• When you are travelling and are carrying a network accessible device like a laptop, smart phone, tablet, etc, your IP Address can change temporarily owing to the change in location and/or introduction to a new local area network.

HOW TO LOOK UP YOUR IP ADDRESS?

So now, you may need to look up your own IP Address. This is not a daunting task and might require only a few moments of your time, the easiest way to find out the IP Address of your local device is to directly go to google and search something along the lines of 'What is my IP Address?' and you will find the information you are looking for within the first few search options. If you still want to take a different approach of finding out your IP Address, different operating systems have different ways available to the same. For example:

• iPhone:
  • Open settings
  • Go to Wi-Fi and select the small 'i' button.
  • The IP Address is found under DHCP tab.
• Mac:
  • Open System Preferences
  • Select Network. This shows all related information including your IP Address.
• Windows:
  • Open Command prompt
  • Type 'cmd' in the search bar.
  • Type 'ipconfig' in the pop-up box to find the information you are looking for.

It should be noted that generally the digits before the first three dots in a local network IP Address represent the LAN and the last digit(s) is assigned to differentiate different systems in the same LAN. This is why you will notice that all the devices connected to the same Wi-Fi have the first three sets of digits same with the last digits being different.

STARTING UP A CONNECTION

A router usually comes with a default username and password. It should be placed in a central and heightened position.
• Mounting on a Power Source: Starting up a router for the first time after connecting to a current may take some time. Usually, most routers show a green light to indicate proper start-up.
• Connecting to an Internet Source: Broadband Ethernet Cable or any source of network should then be connected to the Router’s internet port, which usually has a different colouration for easy identification.
