What is the definition of an IP address?
An Internet Protocol address is the key system for the identification of computers and other devices on computer networks. It is a fact that every computer (this also includes additional network devices or machines) which is connected to the Internet has an IP address.
How are IP addresses written? What is their configuration?
The format which IP addresses take on are notations (which are labeled as dotted-decimal notations) and which use numerals between which there are dots or full stops. There are many examples of IP addresses (one of them being the one we are writing about here). Also, there are thousands of other IP addresses).
How are IP addresses found?
Everybody who uses a computer or any other such device (as well as making use of computer networks) should know how and where to find the IP address of their machines. However, the course of action which a user needs to follow largely depends on the kind of computer being used. There may also be the case when it is necessary to find somebody else’s IP address. However, should it happen that there is no set-up for the router to use this IP address, what we need to do next is check the manufacturer documents. Also, we can test the website so as to locate the appropriate address.
Can there occur any problems connected with these addresses?
If we are very lucky, the computer or the network being used has no functioning issues, and in effect, the addresses stay in the background and need no particular attention. However, problems occurring with these addresses are not rare, and they may occur when the device is being set up or connected to a computer. The circumstances which can lead to this can be as follows:
– It can occur that two devices have the same IP address;
– A computer could display no IP address at all;
– Or a device may have a “defective” IP address that makes it impossible for the device to connect with the network.
The procedures that can be used to resolve these issues include releasing and or renewing address releases, static address set-up, as well as updating the subnet configuration.
Is it possible to conceal IP addresses and if so, how?
The fact that an IP address is public implies that it is being shared by multiple users on the Internet, and this fact makes some people worry about privacy. In reality, IP addresses can track all Internet usage. Also, they can provide some information about our locations (although it is only estimated). There are techniques that can aid hiding an IP address which at the same time has the effect of augmenting Internet privacy.
What is the designation of 192.168.1.1?
This IP address is typically used by broadband routers (mostly Linksys ones) and at times also by other brands of routers. To this we must also add equipment for home network gateways as well as network administrators who have the task to set up a new router or on the other hand, to update existing router settings. And also, business computer networks use this IP address. It can be said that any machine can be set up for utilizing the IP address as an alternative to a router (however, this is not recommended due to possibly causing conflicts with the IP address). And last, it should be said that this is a private address belonging to a private address range (beginning with the address 192.168.0.0, and continuing to the 192.168.255.255 IP address).

What is the procedure of connecting with a router by means of this IP address?
It is most common for computers to find the router via its designation (called SSID) whenever there is a need for going online. In the IP address of the router is the one which is our focus of attention, then this address can be connected to when a Web browser is opened and http://192.168.1.1/ typed in. By doing this, we have the option of logging into the console of the administrator of the router with the purpose of accessing the configuration screen.
What is the procedure of troubleshooting a router which is unresponsive?
The troubleshooting steps which need to be undertaken in the aim of determining the cause of the lack of router response set up on 192.168.1.1 are many. In fact, the problem could be the router itself, or, on the other hand, it could be the connection (there could be a cabling problem or a wireless interference difficulty).
What is the procedure for troubleshooting wrongly configured devices?
It could happen that the router which is set at this IP address is functioning well, but the network is producing inadequate connections to the router. Is this happens, troubleshooting is the only possible solution.
