registered to the WLAN. As a rule, the IP address is assigned to your

Shows the value of the subnet mask that defines the address block
of the IP address.
For example, the value 255.255.255.0 shows that the network
address is formed by the first three blocks of the IP address. The last
block is for the PC addresses in this network. The number of IP
address blocks used for PC addressing depends on the size of the
network and hence the number of connected PCs.
