(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.

Nothing wrong. That's that just the Internal IP of his/her network. :)

It is fine. You can disable WiFi and keep using the weird cable. Nothing wrong with your PC

Your Internal IP is different to your Public IP. Hiding your IP won't matter as it is your internal one. ?

:P There was IPv6 address in the original pic. I think that's not an internal IP.

That is also a internal IP. Now routers get the option of assigning iPv6. Although it's harder to configure
