Static IP after FTTC to FTTP upgrade ?

[#1]

Currently on Unlimited Fibre Extra (FTTC) and just put in an order to upgrade to Full Fibre 145 (FTTP)

Will my existing static IP come along or will I need to re-order or automatically get a different static IP address ?
Guess some here may have gone through the process

All things being well your static IP should stay with you.

Doing anything with your current landline?

Ah great cheers.

Landline : Nope - even switched the phone off - all I got were spam calls.

Hi Dabbler,

Did you get your static IP up and working?

I am in the same dilemma, I have FTTP 900MB with now static IP

What I was given is: 

Static IP:  80.229.14.13 

Subnet: 255.255.255.255

Gateway: 195.166.130.251

1.) Head pulling since last Thursday, Static IP and Gateway not on the same network.

2.) I could not use it for my NAT or not even for a Webserver

More frustration, moving from business to Full fibre.

Everything has been down since.

Any help or tips. Much appreciated

God blesses!!!

Regards

Your public IP address and gateway not being on the same network is not an issue as everyone is the same

My static IP is 80.229.xxx.xxx with the gateway of 195.166.130.251

What are you trying to setup?

Not had FTTP installed yet - it's happening Tuesday PM - was intending to post an update here once done.

I replaced my old router with the new Plusnet Hub Two on my current FTTC and that's picked up the same/existing static IP.
Didn't initially but few mins later it did.

But sounds like your issue is something else.

If you mean connect from outside world in on the static IP coming in - check your router firewall settings for port forwarding / DMZ. ((Advanced Settings) If using Plusnet Hub Two)
As mine was a router sent from Plusnet - it likely had many settings pre configured e.g. username + password.

@sanyaade  a static IP just means you always get allocated the same IP. You still need to configure your router for PPPoE and obtain ip from isp. Those qddresses look correct.

@MisterW :

Yes! I already did configured the router but you wont be able to configure, setup and NAT to internal private IPs. I have even attempted them on Hub 2 and then tried out on my DrayTek 2860vn-plus. All but no avail.

The primary aim here is a Single Public IP Address NAT to private internals.

Many thanks for your support. Much appreciated.

God blesses!!!

@Dan_the_Van :

While both Static IP and the assigned Gateway IP are public IP addresses. I noticed that the gateway IP Address fluctuates, changes and even disappeared for my account add-on information page. Sometimes my router picks 195.166.130.254  as gateway or 195.166.130.254,  sometimes 192.168.1.254 will appear as my primary DNS instead of 121.159.6.10 or 212.159.13.49.

The primary objective is to be able to use the single static IP and NAT with my local IPs. But that is giving problems currently

Could all be due to new account synchronisation?

I have not be able to use it since last Thursday when it went live (installation and activation)

Many thanks for time and support!

God blesses!!!

The Hub's default gateway would only change if there has been a DSL down/up or PPP restart.

Everything you describe is normal.

The primary aim here is a Single Public IP Address NAT to private internals.

This is all ready happening, ignoring you have a static public address all devices on your home/office network will be hidden behind your public IP Address. Only if you have a range of public address would you need to map an internal device to one of your public IP's.

@sanyaade you just setup the router to forward the port to the private ip. Its then accessible via the public ip and port

For my original query : What would happen to my current static IP when upgrading from FTTC to FTTP :

It seems to have come with me - yay 😁

I originally set up the new Plusnet Hub Two on the original FTTC connection. Initially it showed a different IP address, but after a few mins reverted to my correct Static IP.

Just had FTTP activated (+rebooted the router) and the original Static IP seems to have stayed.

Haven't tried connecting from outside in - but I don't really need that.

@DafOwen :

Were your original static IPs public (i.e. from IP address block)?

Mine original  was on IP address block (81.174.xxx.xx)

Did disconnect from your FTTC vDSL or still have it connect while your new FTTP is now connected to the WAN port?

Just curious where will your old static IPs coming from.

Were able to connect external to you local machine(e.g. servers)?

So far: for me,

None of my local machine assigned fixed private static IP (e.g. 81.192.1.20) could connect with the Hub2 Router.

Done NAT for port 80/80 on a server and even put it DMZ but no results

Only those on the dynamic private IP can connect.

I have some Cisco routers and DrayTek routers in my garage, also remember that I have BT business smart hub and home-smarthub bought few years ago but never used them. I may need to get them and experiment their features.

God blesses!!!

@sanyaade  you must assign private static IPs in the same subnet as the Hub 2 LAN ( but outside its dhcp range )

By default that is 192.168.1.x and the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.63 will be suitable. The default gateway should be 192.168.1.254
