IP Refresh

So how long does IP Refresh take on Plusnet?
Or is it every time you're router re boots?

Re: IP Refresh

@xenomorph As PN IPs are 'sticky', they don't change that often. They are taken from a 'local' pool so the chances are you will end up with the same one even if your router reboots. If you want/need a new one, the best chance is by leaving the router off overnight, but even that doesn't guarantee a new one.

Re: IP Refresh

If you are truly seeking a new IP address, kindly consider changing the mac address of your router to a new one, as this action will provide you with a new IP address.

There are many reasons, none of which infer nefarious reasons.

Re: IP Refresh

Exactly!
Reason being one website that lets users upload and download android keybox uses throttling using IP and it keeps saying I downloaded enough even though I not downloaded anything same message for few day's.
