192.168.0.1

On the vast global network, every device has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. 192.168.0.1. is the IP address that represents your computer, mobile phone or any other network device on the Internet or local network. It’s different than other addresses because it’s in the range of IP addresses that are reserved for local area networks only (private IP addresses). This address is also unique, which means that only one device can have it in a given network at all times, and it’s most commonly used as the Netgear or D-Link default address for local router configuration. It’s also one of IPv4 addresses, and IPv4 is the protocol that is currently used in most networks around the world. But that’s soon going to change, because the use of IPv6, the successor of this protocol, is on the rise because of insufficient number of IPv4 addresses. Ipv6 supports more address combinations and uses hexadecimal instead of binary system.

The meaning of private IP address

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has to assign an IP address to your device that it’s unique each time you’re surfing the Web. On the other hand, your router has a private IP address that can be accessed only on private networks, and this address doesn’t have to be unique. Because it’s not a direct access address, no one can access it outside your private network. However, private addresses can’t connect to the Internet on their own; they actually connect to a network that is already connected to the Internet (ISP), and only then gain access to it.
