On Windows 11, the ability to determine wireless or wired network connection information (such as IP, DNS, and default gateway addresses) can come in handy in many situations.
For example, you may need the connection details to diagnose and resolve connectivity issues to the local network or internet or determine whether you have to update specific settings. You can quickly find the router's IP address with the default gateway information. You can learn whether the laptop is using the correct wireless network. It can also be helpful if you try to set up a remote desktop connection.
