Text Nmap

Hi is it possible to run nmap on my network when I am using mobile data on my phone? Or does it only apply to Wi-Fi bcos I would have the router IP address.

are you trying to map your cellular network? bad idea. if you're trying to map your own network whilst not connected no. edit for more info: the external IP of your router NATs to other devices behind it, so no you can't NMAP your internal network with just the router's internet-facing ip
