How to find your smart TV’s IP address
Every smart TV shows its IP address somewhere in the network menu. Menu names change between models and years, so if a step doesn’t match, look for Network, Network status or About.
Samsung (Tizen)
Settings → General (or Connection) → Network → Network Status → IP Settings.
LG (webOS)
Settings → All Settings → General (or Network) → Network → Wi‑Fi Connection (or Wired Connection), then select your network or Advanced Wi‑Fi settings.
Google TV / Android TV (Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips and others)
Settings → Network & Internet, then select the connected network. The IP address is listed. On some models it is under Settings → Device Preferences → About → Status.
Roku
Settings → Network → About shows the IP address, connection type and signal strength.
Amazon Fire TV
Settings → My Fire TV → About → Network.
Apple TV
Settings → Network. The IP address is shown on the network screen.
Find it from your router instead
Log in to your router (here’s how to find your router’s IP) and open the list of connected devices (often called DHCP clients, Attached devices or LAN status). The TV usually appears under its brand or model name.
Why you might need it
- Casting or remote-control apps that ask for the TV’s address.
- Giving the TV a fixed address (DHCP reservation).
- Changing DNS to fix a streaming app (see public DNS servers compared).
The TV’s address is a private IP. Streaming services see your public IP, which is shared by the whole house.
Frequently asked questions

How do I find my TV IP without the remote?
Log in to your router and check the connected devices or DHCP client list. The TV usually appears by brand or model name.
Is my TV IP address private?
Yes. The router assigns it and it only works inside your home network. Websites and streaming services see your public IP.
