A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers and network devices connected together, usually within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building, using network cables or wireless connections. An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
Knowing how to check the IP address of a device on a LAN can be useful for various reasons, such as troubleshooting network connectivity issues, accessing network-attached devices, or configuring network settings. There are several methods for checking the IP address of a device on a LAN, depending on the operating system and type of device being used.
