Details

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique numerical value assigned to each network device. IP addresses are used for identifying and locating a device on a network.

 

On a device with both wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) network connectivity capabilities, there will be one IPv4 Address for the wired (Ethernet) connection and another IPv4 Address for the wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. If a device only has wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) network connectivity capabilities, then there will only be one IPv4 Address.
