The 192.168.8.1 IP address is a LAN address that is private and can be used as the gateway address within the local network.

What is an IP address such as 192.168.8.1?

As mentioned above, 192.168.8.1 is a private IP address, which is the identity of the computers in the network, it is unique within the LAN, and your router uses it to distinguish the identity of each computer on the network. It also allows other computers on the LAN to find themselves quickly.
Different routers can have the same IP address, such as 192.168.8.1. Same router model always use same IP addresses.

The default gateway refers to the gateway or router of the network where the computer is located, because only gateways and routers know how to reach other networks. For computers inside the network, they can only communicate with the outside of the network if they know the location of the default gateway.

But how does your router know which computer is sending data requests? Each machine connected to your WiFi network has a unique IP address, such as 192.168.8.1. Your IP address is a set of digits that enables each device to communicate with the others. IP addresses are allocated to a variety of devices, not just those that are linked to the Internet. IP addresses are also assigned to printers and storage devices, allowing your router and other networked devices to connect to and use them. Other WiFi devices often have IP addresses that differ from the router’s IP address, with the last number differing.

Most IP address holders are currently using the IPv4 version, which has two components: network (network identifier, each network has only one unique network identification) and host (host identifier, each host of the same network has to have a unique host identifier).

IPv4 can identify up to 4.3 billion hosts, and ICANN is in charge of all IP addresses.

Among all IP addresses, the following three types of addresses are private IP addresses. Anyone can use these IP addresses on their own local network.

  • Class A: 10.0.0.1 – 10.255.255.254
  • Class B: 172.16.0.1 – 172.31.255.254
  • Class C: 192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254

These addresses are widely used in a variety of local networks. Some routers may set the default address to 192.168.8.1. Private IP addresses can only be used on local networks because they are not directly connected to the Internet. A router is required if you want to connect to the Internet using a private address. Inside the router, there are two types of IP addresses: public IP and private IP. The router’s primary function is to transform the private IP to a public IP so that the private IP can share the Internet via the public IP.

Private IP addresses Vs. Public IP addresses

192.168.8.1 is a private IP address that is associated with your router network. Private IP addresses are unregistered addresses that can only be used on private networks. In other words, private IP addresses do not appear on the Internet and can only used for local connections, not for direct Internet access.

The Internet network contains billions of hosts, and in order to differentiate these hosts from one another, each host is allocated a unique address known as an IP address.

Each host can be accessed using an IP address, which consists of four sections of numbers separated by a decimal point, such as the IP address of a host: 192.168.8.1. Public IP addresses are handled by NIC (network interface controller), which are in charge of worldwide Internet IP address planning and management.

Your ISP will provide you a public IP address to access the Internet, but it is difficult to assign an IP address to every computer since IPv4 addresses are insufficient. As a result, private IP addresses are required. These IP addresses are typically used for LAN management and cannot be directly connected to the Internet; instead, they must be reached via the public IP.

It was expected early on that IPv4 might not be sufficient, so a portion of IP addresses were set aside for private IP addresses.

The most significant distinction between private and public IP addresses is that there is only one public IP address in the world, but private IP addresses can be repeated but not within a LAN. The public IP address is unique in the globe. That is, an IP address only represents one device at a time, thus as long as you can identify the IP address, you can also find the exact device.

Private IP addresses are reserved for local networks. Because they are not unique on the network, the public network cannot discover the relevant device using private IP addresses.
