Static IP

Why have I got a static IP?, I didn't pay or request one!

Plus my router is restarting everyday around midnight.

 

Thanks for your time.

Re: Static IP

@Menace65 IP's are 'sticky' these days since they are allocated locally from small pools. So if your router is only disconnected for a short time, then there's a good chance you will get the same IP

Re: Static IP

Thanks, the pool must be one IP address, I've had the same IP for the last two months or more, it's not a big deal, was just curious.

 

So why is my router restarting everynight if I have a static IP?

Re: Static IP

I really don't know why it's restarting. Does the event log give any indication ?
