(sorry if this sounds very stupid. I'm quite a noob) I have a hp laptop which is nearly at the end of its warranty period. Recently, I've noticed a weird situation. When downloading Steam games using ethernet without turning wifi off, both of them (from the same router) will show downloading speed in task manager. Don't have anything like NIC teaming installed. Is this normal or is the network card (or something else) screwed? Should I send it to hp for a free fix before the warranty runs out? Thx in advance.

It's normal. That represents the internal IP address of their network.

Everything is okay. You can turn off WiFi and continue using the unusual cable. Your PC isn't in any trouble.

Your private address differs from your public address. Concealing your IP won't help since it's your internal one.

These IPs fall into the private range, meaning they're reserved for internal use and not accessible from the public internet unless connected to your local network.

The image originally contained an IPv6 address, which appears to be external rather than internal.

Additionally, internal IPs are supported. Routers can now choose to assign IPv6 addresses. This process may be more complex.
