I'll take a look but I know my router ip address is 192.168.1.254

You can either check your local network (windows commandline: ipconfig or linux terminal: ifconfig) or visit a site to see whether you are inside a ipv6 network (e.g. http://ipv6-test.com/).

Note that ipv6 addresses are running out (europe's last /8 block has been distributed to >99,8%). Therefore some provider are using ipv6, providing you an ipv4 address via carrier-grade NAT.
This can lead to issues since you can establish an outgoing ipv4 and/or ipv6 connection, but might have issues establishing an ipv4 connection towards your home network.

That's its IP address within your local network (ie. the connection between your PC and the router). The public facing IP address (ie. the address that a website sees when you are visiting it -- or a node connecting to your node, for that matter) is a different address and provided to you by your ISP.

Depending on your ISP and router setup this may be an old school IPv4 address (like 192.168.1.254) or a shiny new IPv6 address (like 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 just with actual values instead of zeroes).

Yes but how do I get my ip to show up

What happens when you google "what is my IP"? Do you get an IPv4 address such as x.x.x.x (x ranging from 0 to 255) or an IPv6 address such as x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x (x ranging from 0000 to FFFF)?

Because in the LN block explorer your unknown IP address is shown in the IPv6 format. Maybe your router is set up to support IPv6 by default and the lightning node client (or the acinq block explorer) is not able to properly handle it?

im also found in the shores of Africa odd??

You'll find that location is 0° 0' N/S, 0° 0' E/W... or, to put it another way, at the junction of the Prime Meridian (0° Longitude) and the equator (0° Latitude)... most likely because the GEOIP lookup for your "bad" 0.0.0.0 IP address has returned all zeros Tongue
