March 27, 201412 yr True Package, fixed line 7 Mbps. Even swapped back to the True modem without Wifi and the IP Address still changes. Is this to be expected or shall I call True Technical Support? The reason I ask is the IP Address is used as a backdoor to prevent bloated Google Adsense and Analytics statistics when updating my sites. The True IP Address used to change a couple of times a day but now it is ridiculous.
March 27, 201412 yr For Dynamic IP address, "The IP "Lease Time" is set by the ISP and typically if your router is still online and requests a new lease, the ISP will give you back the same IP. as nothing is gained by giving you a different IP." "Most routers/modems have a display for the WAN IP and typically will display the IP "Lease Time". It is usually a few hours to a few days. Odds are your modem asks for an IP regularly but the DHCP server simply hands it back the same address [while refreshing the Lease Time countdown]. When it has a reason NOT to, your IP will be updated with whatever new IP is being handed out." copied quotes courtesy of this website I think most people would report their WAN IP address remaining persistent for a week or so before cycling to a new address. WAN IP addresses can be forced to change before their Lease Time expires if you have line issues causing a line fault or experience equipment resets, forcing the equipment to renegotiate and the DHCP servers offering a different IP address. An alternative theory would be it being set as a tactic to thwart P2P activity. Edited March 27, 201412 yr by RichCor
March 29, 201412 yr My guess is an ADSL sync problem. It maybe a good idea to check the ADSL line stats.
