Changes? (Router Dynamic IP to static)

Help and support
1

Hi Guys,

My internet stopped working and to get it fixed today Yayzi advised me to change the router internet settings from Dynamic to static IP (and they’ve provided me with one). After making the change, my internet is working, but I’m wondering if it’s just a workaround or a permanent change. Has anybody else had to change their router settings recently?

Interesting. Yayzi advised me that it’s a permanent change. :-]

I have the IP address Statically configured on my Palo. Makes link monitoring for failures much easier.

I was advised the same when I had issues a couple months back…

Plus if for some reason they have to change the IP in the middle of the night your internet will keep working if it’s dynamic as they can ‘fix it’ their end.
