Method 1: Wi‑Fi network details
- Swipe down from the top of the screen and open Wi‑Fi, or go to Settings > Wi‑Fi.
- Tap your connected Wi‑Fi network, or open its details icon if your tablet shows one.
- Open Advanced if needed.
- Look for IP address, IPv4 or similar network details.
- That address is your local IP on the Fire Tablet.
Older Fire tablets may label the section as Wireless or hide the address under Advanced. The right place is still the details for the Wi‑Fi network you are currently using.
If the Fire Tablet only shows IPv6
- Check whether the Wi‑Fi details screen has an Advanced section and expand it.
- If you need IPv4 specifically, look in your router’s device list and identify the Fire Tablet there.
- Most local IPv4 addresses at home look like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x.
- If the tablet is in a restricted kids profile and the details are missing, open the Wi‑Fi settings from the main device settings and try again.
Local IP vs public IP
Your Fire Tablet local IP is the address inside your own network. Your public IP is what websites see when the tablet goes online. Quick guide: Local IP vs public IP.
If you want the concept behind this first, start with what a local IP is. If your Fire Tablet address changes over time, the next useful piece is DHCP.
This is the address you need for printers, NAS access, router client lists and manual reservations. The public IP shown by websites is a different thing entirely.
Practical shortcut: Fire Tablet settings show your device’s local IP. If you need it to stay stable for a printer, camera or smart-home setup, see how to set a fixed local IP.
