We teach you how to configure the IP of your equipment without having to use the options of the network card

Today, security is an aspect that we consider fundamental, especially due to the personal data that may be exposed in the case of a breach in the _software_ or _hardware_ of our equipment. Something that, as we have already seen in recent months, is not so difficult to find.

A first step can be to keep our Internet connection in good condition and so let's see first how we can configure the IP address in Windows 10 in an easy and accessible way . A simple method that we approach step by step.

It is about opting for a different path than the one we all know and that uses the properties of the network card to configure the IP address automatically or manually. This is the traditional method but we are going to discover an alternative one.

"

In this sense, the first step is to access Settings of our equipment and once inside look for the section Network and Internet."

A new window opens in which we must choose one of the options offered regarding the method we use to connect: Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable .

"

We choose Wi-Fi and click on the network to which we are connected and after that we must search and _click_ on the option Edit (we must go down using the right sidebar) which is located within IP Configuration."

"

When establishing our IP Configuration we can do it manually or automatically . In our case we have established it manually by filling in each of the different fields that it offers."

This is a kind of assistant that is more visual and above all more practical than the old menu referring to the network card. _Did you know this way to determine the IP configuration of your equipment?_
