The router's IP address has been updated.
The router's IP address might be assigned via DHCP, meaning it's provided by your ISP and can occasionally vary. You need to switch it to a static IP and set the desired DNS and custom settings.
Your internet service provider offers a changing IP address, so you can either rely on a free DNS service such as no-ip or opt for a paid static IP.
I believe you're referring to your public IP address rather than the internal network settings. Your ISP manages your external IP, so you can't control its changes. Some providers offer a static IP for the long term, while others assign new addresses regularly—this is known as dynamic IP. If your IP is fluctuating, you likely have a dynamic connection. To maintain a consistent address, consider using a DDNS service. You can purchase a domain and configure a DDNS record, or use a free tool like www.noip.com with a server-side script to update your DNS when your IP shifts.
DDNS setup is actually quite simple and offers an extra perk—you don’t share your IP address. Instead, you receive a domain name, such as tazerxi.ddns.net. Sign up for a free account at noip, pick your domain, install their DNS update tool on your server, execute it, log in, and you’re all set. Just remember, you’ll need to verify your account every 28 days for the free tier; they’ll email you a link to confirm your status.
