    Do you have admin access to the router - If so there should be a page that shows the IP addresses that the DHCP, ( Dynamic Host Control Protocol, a part of the router), server has allocated to the devices on the network

    This will usually be decipherable as it will show the Computer names against the IP, but sometimes you will need to take the MAC address given and associate this with the hardware

    If you open CMD window on a windows device - and Enter ipconfig /all this will provide a long list of network info including the IP address - other items that have IP addresses these days - Phones, TV's, Heating systems ETc have their own way of setting and finding IP addresses, MAC addresses and other data

    If you wish you can get free tools to do all this for you

    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fr...hrome&ie=UTF-8 is a list that you can try to find the one you like best

    Thank you!
    I found the DHCP page in the router, but that shows is the computer and my wife's IPad. The router does seem not to exist.

    There should also be a page that allows you to display the settings of the WAN - on my TP-Link it's a page called Status

    You cannot set the external IP address, this is set by your service provider, but it should be shown somewhere in the router
