Yes, routers have IP addresses. Most routers have at least two IP addresses – one internal and one external.

The internal IP address of a router is used to communicate within the local network. It is typically a private IP address, such as 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1, depending on the router's configuration.

The external IP address of the router is assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is used to communicate with devices outside the local network. This IP address is unique and can be seen by other devices on the internet when communicating with the router.

On the other hand, a computer can have one or more IP addresses, depending on its network configuration. Generally, a computer has at least one IP address assigned to its network interface card (NIC). This IP address can be either a private IP address for internal network communication or a public IP address assigned by the ISP.
