Using DHCP Rather Than Static Adress to Hook To Internet Using Orbi SXR30

Question

We have an ORBIPro SXR30.&nbsp; Currently it hooks to the internet through a Fiber modem.&nbsp; It uses a static address for the IP Gateway on the router WAN settings.&nbsp;We are changing services.&nbsp; The new service is COAX from Spectrum.&nbsp;Do I really need a static address to hook to the modem or can I use DHCP and allow the Spectrum ISP to assign the address.&nbsp; Is that what the Assign IP Address Automatically does in the WAN IP (not LAN) section of the configuration.&nbsp;

Something to ask the ISP about. Most common ISPs use DHCP. There are some that may need specific configurations. The ISP will know this.&nbsp;

You should be fine.&nbsp;
Unless you're using the static public IP address (different from private) for outside services/servers&nbsp;
