Details About 192.168.111.114
The IP address 192.168.111.114 is private, local, or a gateway address. Devices on the same network use 192.168.111.114 to send data requests online.
Your router also has a public IP address, which your ISP and websites use.
The public IP retrieves information from websites and delivers it to your router. The router then sends the data to your device using the private IP.
Locating Your IP Address
While 192.168.111.114 is a private IP, it may not be yours. If it isn’t, you can search for your router’s model online to find its default IP.
The IP address may also appear in the router’s manual. If these methods fail, your computer can help you locate the IP.
For Windows Users:
- Click the network icon at the bottom right corner of your screen.
- Choose the Wi-Fi network you are using.
- Look for the IPv4 section, where a number similar to 192.168.111.114 will appear. That is your IP address.
For Mac OS Users:
- Open the Apple menu.
- Go to “System Preferences.”
- Select your internet network.
- The IP address will appear next to “Router.”
You can change your private IP only by modifying it. Someone might have changed it earlier if the router’s IP isn’t 192.168.111.114 or another default.
Reset the router to factory settings to restore the default IP, but this action will delete all configurations.
What Does an IP Address Like 192.168.111.114 Mean?
An IP address like 192.168.111.114 is a private address used by your router to identify itself on a network.
It also acts as a delivery point for data requests sent by devices connected to the Wi-Fi.
This address is not exclusive to your router, as most manufacturers use a limited set of private IP addresses.
These private addresses are not specific to any brand because only the router owner needs to know them.
How Does a Router Identify Devices?
Each device on your Wi-Fi network, including computers, has its private IP address, such as 192.168.111.114.
These addresses allow devices to communicate with each other. IP addresses are not limited to computers; printers and storage devices also have private addresses.
This enables the router and connected devices to interact and share resources. The devices’ IP addresses are typically similar to the router’s, differing only in the last number.
What Are IPv4 and Private IP Ranges?
Most IP addresses currently follow the IPv4 format. It consists of four number groups divided by dots.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns certain number ranges for private IP use. These ranges include:
- 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
- 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
- 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
These ranges provide about 18 million private IP addresses. Manufacturers typically use two or three ranges for their routers.
Private vs. Public IP Addresses
The IP address 192.168.111.114 is private and linked to your Wi-Fi network. It is the number sequence used to open the router’s admin page. However, your router also has a public IP address.
Your internet provider assigns a public IP address that you cannot change. Public IP addresses include numbers not reserved for private networks.
These addresses connect routers directly to the internet. Websites recognize public IP addresses to deliver requested data.
Public IP addresses frequently change. Providers assign dynamic IPs to ensure each router has a unique address.
These addresses remain temporary and change when users disconnect from the internet. Providers use dynamic IPs to manage the limited pool of addresses efficiently.
Static IP addresses stay the same, and help servers or websites remain online all the time.
Public IP addresses are visible to others, raising privacy concerns. They can show a user’s general location. In skilled hands, a public IP could gather more information.
Using a VPN can protect your privacy. VPNs mask your public IP with a random one, often showing a different location. Some routers have built-in VPN support for added security.
