welcome to the internet. although different, those are all private IPs that were assigned by your own router. private meaning only your router knows about them. and the only single public IP you have (the only one anyone over the internet can see) is assigned to your router. your router allows multiple different devices to connect to the internet using a single public IP that your Internet service provider assigns to your connection.
your router does this by assigning your devices private IP addresses that only it will understand. hence the 192.168.1.* addresses.

if you visit http://www.whatsmyip.org/ on any device in your home, you will notice that the internet only sees you connecting from 1 single IP, regardless from which device. That's your routers external IP assigned by your internet service provider.
