This is the video where my understanding of private IP addresses clicked. I think the part that helped understand it the most was when you specified that the 192.168.* and 10.* addresses are reserved on the public internet for private networks. Thanks for sharing!
You cannot access the internet using private IP address. There has to be a device between your computer (with private IP address) and internet that can do NAT, which is simply translate your private IP address to a public IP address. Most of the time that device is a router with a public IP address.
maybe i too blazed, but ima study these lessons very closely... I just conected my 2 laptops by setting alt private Ip, to extend the hotspot, wi-fi signal, from the hallway door at max range, to main pc, full signal bars. when normal main pc position would connect 2 bars at most.
Private IP addresses exist so you can add devices to a local network without taking up a public IP address space. There are only a little over 4 billion public IPV4 addresses, meaning it would be impossible for all computers and servers in the world to have a Public IP address. However the modern internet sets aside 10.* and 192.168.* addresses for networks to assign their devices with these private IP addresses.

So is the home router working as a NAT server?
Open
why do we have private ip address?
