Here's the basics of using the ip command:

ip link
    shows and can manipulate the link-layer devices, including
    wifi and ethernet NICs

ip addr
    shows and can manipulate IP addressing

ip route
    shows and can manipulate IP routing

ip neigh
    shows and can manipulate your ARP table (or IPv6 equivalent)

Each of these can be abbreviated: "ip l", "ip a"... and each of
them has a basic help available via "ip l help" and similar.

ip l
ip a add 192.168.0.2/24 dev wlan0
ip r add default via 192.168.0.1

for example.
