Is IP address the same across devices?
Each device on your Wi-Fi will have a unique local IP address. No. Two computers with the same IP address will cause issues. They will have similar addresses, but not the same.
Is IP address different for mobile data?
Yes. Your cellular carrier will assign a temporary IP address to your device whenever you begin a new data session, or periodically refresh the IP address assigned if your device connects continuously.
Why is my IP address different on a website?
If there is any box at all in between your computer and your ISP, your computer will probably have a different IP. The reason is that there is a finite number of IPs in the world, so there has to be some way of conserving them. That way is NAT, or Network Address Translation.
Do IP addresses of websites change?
Static IP addresses don’t change. Any network that hosts a website will need a static IP address to ensure the website works properly. Like devices, websites have unique IP addresses as well.
What happens if 2 devices have the same IP address?

Is IP address based on WIFI or device?
Your IP address is assigned to your device by your ISP. Your internet activity goes through the ISP, and they route it back to you, using your IP address. Since they are giving you access to the internet, it is their role to assign an IP address to your device. However, your IP address can change.
Can an IP address be traced to a cell phone?
So, while it is possible someone can geo-locate you by knowing your phone’s IP address (which changes every time you leave your house and come back, as well as every time your device finds a new network to connect to), it is incredibly unlikely due to the nature of cellular data networks and wi-fi routers.

Can two devices have the same MAC address?
If two devices have the same MAC Address (which occurs more often than network administrators would like), neither computer can communicate properly. Duplicate MAC Addresses separated by one or more routers is not a problem since the two devices won’t see each other and will use the router to communicate.
Can someone use my IP address?
Someone can use your IP to hack your device The internet uses ports as well as your IP address to connect.
