Internet protocol address or IP address for short is a set
of numerical label given to any device that is a part of a communication
network for the purpose of communication. The two main purpose of an IP address
is for host or network interface identification and location addressing.
With this in mind, it is important that users of network
gadgets like mobile phones and computers should be able to know their IP
address so as to distinguish it from a lot during troubleshooting or the likes.
Secondly, it is necessary if you don’t want to be tracked or spied on since IP
address has the capacity of telling your location at any point in time. For the
latter, changing your IP address or at
least hiding it from suspecting eyes will
be a better option.
For some gadgets that run on Android mobile applications, to
locate the IP address is not a straight forward approach as there must be a
connection before you can locate your IP address for wi-fi connections only.
The
steps mentioned below will help you to achieve that.
· Ensure you have a wi-fi connection.
· Click on setting >> wireless &/or
network as the case may be depending on your version of android application
>> wi-fi settings.
· Under wi-fi networks tap on any desired and
connected network. This pops up a dialog box displaying: status, security,
signal strength, link speed and IP address.
One other way of achieving this which is more encompassing
as it works for almost all gadget types and applications whether wi-fi or
mobile network is by visiting IP2location.
This website gives you your IP address, location, region, weather station etc. with this life is more easier but you must
ensure you are observant to know which network you are using wi-fi or mobile
network in order not to mix things up.
