You can use a single static IP address for your entire network, even if you have many devices. Just assign it to the router and configure it accordingly. Multiple static IPs aren't necessary unless you need specific addresses for certain services or devices.
NAT lets several gadgets use a single IP address, meaning just one IP is sufficient for a residence. The reason you're purchasing a fixed IP isn't useful unless you're running something online. You'll save by opting for a dynamic one instead.
I wish its that easy, my service provider keeps dropping us off... I know its not me coz i have friends that have the same service and they have the same issue. I was told static ip runs about 18 bucks on a residental service. So I set up my modem with the static IP and I dont even have to setup my router ? I think they do it on purpose, it happens more than once on a day, sometimes every hour.
A fixed IP won't fix this problem. If it occurs repeatedly, it probably isn't an IP negotiation issue with your ISP—it may stem from a network or line problem. You can contact your ISP to verify how often the IP changes.
