Router IP

[diurnal]

Hey all if I have a router is the IP of the router my IP address??/
Or does my router have another address to the outside world?
If my router does have another Ip address where do I find it?

In other words does my router have a different address than my IP?
And can my router be accessed by another location other than my LAN?

I assume you have cable or DSL.

If so, the router gets the "PUBLIC" IP address from the ISP. Most routers are setup to give each PC on the network a "private" IP address. Any request for the internet is captured by the router which routs the traffic to the internet or ISP with the "PUBLIC" IP address.
