Wifi IP listed as LAN IP - No LAN on laptop about archey4 HOT 4 CLOSED

To add to @HorlogeSkynet comment: LAN stands for Local Area Network, whereas WAN stands for Wide Area Network. Therefore, archey4 will return your LAN IP address(es) in the LAN field hence explaining why you see your wifi IP ("WLAN").

If your system is connected to both a wired and a wireless connection to your local network, you will see both IP addresses being displayed.

Hello,

With this title issue I assume it's the expected behaviour, as long as you are connected to a Local Area Network through your WiFi.

Tell me if I misunderstood what you meant

Thanks for clearing it up, would it be possible to have LAN/WIFI seperated? As a feature request :)

Hi again,

I don't think there is an easy way to do this, as long as hostname -I only returns the local IP addresses, regardless the hardware interfaces type...
We would be able to compute something with the ip command, but we'd lose the benefit of using hostname (a lot faster) on most of the devices.

Bye
