.You simply have to type 'IP Address' in Google for your IP Address to appear. Rebooting your router should cause a different IP Address to be allocated to your computer.

Re: A question about ISPs
Some suppliers keep the same IP address, some change with every re-boot. If you get banned from a site, you can use web proxy which disguises your id and lets you view the site. The free ones don't normally let you re-join a site but you can pay to upgrade.02-05-2016, 08:36 PM

So, generally you will perpetually keep the same IP address on your computer if you use it daily.

Do you mean IP Address?
With most internet service providers your IP Address is dynamic and will change each time you reboot your computer. You normally have to ask for a static IP Address.
The address assigned to each device on your LAN can be static or dynamic depending on your setup. For example my network printer, extra routers and PVR all have static addresses where as my computer, TVs and mobile phones have dynamic addresses. These addresses are also completely different to the ISP assigned address.
In my case I have set the system up so the main router assigns addresses in the range 192.168.1.100 to 150 (doubt I will get more than 50 devices) and all static addresses are 192.168.1.99 or below because you don't want the same address assigned twice. The other routers (used as a wifi extender and LAN switch) does not assign addresses because that way madness lies.
