How often does a non static IP change?
Every 14 days there is a DHCP lease renewal that takes place that acts kind of like a handshake between the ISP and a household modem. If the connection is still valid the ISP will move on and not disrupt service via provisioning a new IP address.
Why does my public IP keep changing?
Most of the time, the reason for a sudden change in an IP address is typically due to an interruption between your router and the internet. This could be due to power loss or from rebooting the system. Upon reconnection to the internet, your ISP will assign a new IP.
Does your public IP address ever change?
