I switched to Rogers and the network is no longer wlan, but shows wlp2s. I used to see an ip address like 192.168.2.xx when I run

ifconfig -a

but now there is no such thing any more and the wifi device became wlp2s0, it used to be wlan0. I tried googling and cannot find anything. pasting the output with some address deletion as I do not know if it is safe to post all I see:

wlp2s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.0.xx  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.0.0.255
        inet6 2607:fea8:58e1:1cb0:b4b0  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
        inet6 fe80::9d6b:43ec:aacc  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        inet6 2607:fea8:58e1:1cb0  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x0<global>
        inet6 2607:fea8:58e1:1cb0  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
        ether f4:b7:e2:00:ea:cc  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

I would like to connect from filezilla on another box on my home network and need the ip address.

So called "Private" (or non-routable) IP addresses come in three "ranges"

  • The familiar 192.168.x.x
  • The less familiar 10.x.x.x
  • And the rare 172.16-31.x.x

So, in your case, the IP address is the 10.0.0.xx
