My fix is in the last paragraph, but here is some context if you’re interested.Ī short lease of my IP address just started happening to me, and I came across this forum. The outside world isn’t calling in to you, you call out to external sites and services and for that we use username/password etc to gain access to them. You need a static IP if you are running your own webserver for example, that’s how the outside world can find you (the DNS system will map your domain name to that static IP).īut for day to day internet use I’ve never heard of people needing a static IP address, most home internet plans are by default dynamic IP no matter who the vendor is, Comcast, TMobile, CenturyLink. The norm is dynamic IP, it will change unpredictably. Who was your previous ISP? did you have a static IP address? Ordinarily this is something you pay a bit extra for. I have to call tmobile to have the reset everything every time, then it works for a week, then stops. Netteller thinks its a redirect hack. Really annoying. This is causing me not to be able to log into my banks that use Netteller becasue the IP is changing mid login. Usually take that as a sign to just go do something else for about an hour, then power cycle the modem and hope things clear up. When those further out locations crop up, bandwidth REALLY tanks from the congestion. occasionally I might get shunted to Miami or somewhere out west though. For me here in Sputh Carolina, it tends mostly to swap between Charlotte and Atlanta. It appears the off-the-wall locations usually happen when congestion has ramped up where we were previously tunneled through. The point is that we are on a system that behaves kinda like a cheap/free VPN service (shared/dynamic IP's with short lease times) and sometimes we will get shot off into left field trying to get us online. If by chance it isn't down long enough to trigger an IP swap, doing a full power down usually does the trick as that cycle takes a bit longer. Still on the LTE box, which takes a little while to fully come back online. When all the lights are green, the gateway should be reoriented to your local area.Īll it generally takes to change IP is a reboot. When the top 3 lights are out and the front light is reddish, plug the power back in. Slide the power switch off then on for good measure. Unplug the gateway, then tap the reset port on the back with a push pin or paper clip.
