I've got a Raspberry Pi setup and attached using Ethernet to my Technicolor TG582n FTTC Router.
I've got the 'Always use the same IP address' option ticked in the router settings, however this setting only seems to last for 2-3 days before a new IP address is assigned.
The same thing happened when it was using a wireless adaptor, so I tried using Ethernet to see if that helped, but it hasn't.
Any ideas?

Is the device ID the same

Would this be better placed in Raspberry Pi chat ?

Nope, it's related to the router giving out DHCP addresses.

The router uses the MAC address on the ethernet card as an identifier.
So you need to make a connection and tell it that this MAC address retains the same connection.
