iPhone connecting to home WiFi

[loncell]

My daughter's had a few WiFi issues at home and her data plan got used up we think because the WiFi isn't actually on.

Anyone know why my daughter's iPhone 13 shows a home IP of 104.***.***.** When mine and the missus's shows the routers genuine IP ?.
My daughter has Nord but it's disconnected and privacy off in the phone settings I've re-booted the router and it's the same.

the fault is with the phone,you should go forget this network and start again, but if ip is retained then look it up on this
https://nordvpn.com/ip-lookup/

and rebooting the phone may be an option as well,

I also spoke with 2 friends online who looked into it and one said it will be due because the iPhone uses a private Wi-Fi address for privacy and security which I never knew.

So if your a iPhone user and search whatsmyip when your connected to your home WiFi you won't see the router IP
