The Xbox One, alongside its other series, features a component that allows users to play Xbox games on their computer or smartphone remotely. This feature, among many others, is why the Xbox console is prominent.
In addition, the Xbox app does an exceptional job of automatically connecting your Console. Unfortunately, if you cannot detect and connect your Xbox to your Console, you will be requested to enter the IP address of your Xbox.
What is an Xbox IP Address?
Like any smart device – smartphones, computers, laptops, etc., the Xbox gaming console requires an IP address to access the internet or link the Xbox to a Live gaming network. Xbox gets its IP address from the network router every time it connects to the internet.
And to successfully initiate a private and live game session, you will need to provide the IP address to other participants so they can connect directly to your Xbox. That is, the IP address will give external players access to connect with you.
Alternatively, you will need your Xbox One IP address to stream and connect your Console to your PC.

Generally, you do not need to change the IP address range when scanning your network for devices. The scanning tool automatically scans the same network that your computer is connected to. For instance, if your Xbox is connected to the same network, the scan result will display it.
Once the scan finishes, there will be a list of devices on your network. From the list, check for your Xbox. Usually, the device is named Xbox. But if you do not see any device with that name, check for Microsoft or gaming.
Once you can identify the Xbox device, record the IP address. Then proceed to enter the address into your remote play application. With this, your Xbox should connect to the network.
