How your public IP helps with troubleshooting
Your public IP address identifies the network connection used to reach websites. It can help confirm whether you are connected through home broadband, mobile data, office internet or a VPN. It does not show your exact street address on this page, but it may be linked to an approximate city or service provider.
If websites behave differently on Wi-Fi and mobile data, comparing the public IP and provider can help isolate the problem. Use this tool with the speed test and ping test for a clearer network picture.
