How to Find the Local IP Address of your FLEX Device

How to Find the Local IP Address of your FLEX Device

Finding IP via Router/Network Switch

🛜 Using a Router
  1. Connect to your network
    • Make sure you’re on the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network.
  2. Open a browser
    • Go to your router’s IP address (commonly):
      • 192.168.1.1
      • 192.168.0.1
      • 10.0.0.1
  3. Log in to the router
    • Use your admin username/password
    • (If you never changed it, it may be on a sticker on the router)
  4. Find the device list
    • Look for sections like:
      • “Connected Devices”
      • “Device List”
      • “DHCP Clients”
      • “LAN Status”
  5. Identify the device
    • You’ll see:
      • Device name (hostname)
      • IP address (like 192.168.x.x)
      • MAC address

🔌 Using a Managed Network Switch (if you have one)
(This only works if your switch has a web interface—unmanaged switches don’t track devices)
  1. Open the switch’s web interface
    • Enter its IP address in your browser
  2. Log in
  3. Check client/device info
    • Look for:
      • “MAC Address Table”
      • “ARP Table”
      • “Connected Devices”
  4. Match MAC → IP
    • Switches usually show MAC addresses
    • Some higher-end ones also show IPs
    • You may need to cross-reference with your router
