    On Windows, hit the windows button plus R and and type in the letters CMD. As soon as you're in there, type in IPCONFIG /all—that will tell you everything that's connected on your computer on that network. On Mac, open a terminal line and type in IPCONFIG | GREP and then INET. That should show you all the IP addresses that are showing up on your network, including your router.
