Burner Laptop + Home Wifi = Pointless if your IP address is leaked?

I'm not really sure what info is contained in a computer's IP address. Obviously it's the registered owner of the computer, so with a burner laptop off craiglist paid for in cash you'd be good. But if your IP address is revealed, is the wifi connection you are using at the time also revealed? Because in that case, your home wifi would give you away.

Thanks for your help!

Use tor and/or vpn. Your IP address shouldn't be revealed either way.

What do you think a IP address is? Where do you think it comes from? I'm so confused. Of course they'll know it came from your house if they get your IP.

Damn I don't even use a burner anything. Are you importing kilos or something? Use WEP encryption and pretend someone hacked your WiFi. Someone will eventually if you use Wep

Enjoy!

BTW, I forget the case but a judge has ruled before that an IP address (I believe in this case it was for torrents) was not enough to suggest that is was that indivudual doing the crime. It only means it was that indivuduals computer / internet was doing it. Therefore anyone with access to that computer or router could be considered a suspect.
