Dynamic DNS updating IP address that doesn't match router's IP
This may have been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find a similar question. I'm not talking about NAT here. I understand my devices have different IP addresses that are issued out by the router (ie 192.168.1.n) but my confusion isn't there. The problem seems to be that my "public" IP address doesn't match the routers actual IP. On the admin page, the advanced tab shows the IP address of my router (100.65.140.24). This seems to be my REAL ip address, as i can connect to my home server via port forwarding outside my home network when using that IP address. However, if i use services like http://www.whatsmyip.org then it shows my IP address differently (199.87.86.198). WHen i've set up the dynamic DNS with No-Ip, this is the same address it pushes... so it doesn't work. I don't understand why I seem to have a router IP and an "incorrect" public IP. What's going on there? Does it have something to do with my ISP - and if so, how does my router admin screen know the correct address? Could this be related to IPv6 or some other setting on my router? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank all!Solved41KViews0likes4CommentsNighthawk R7000 Geust Network IP Addressing
We are using this router with static addressing. We are considering using the guest network, but the guest side would need to use dynamic addressing while maintaining static addressing on the other side. Also, we would like to limit the number of users logged in to the guest network. I am not really clear on how to accomplish this and am asking for advice.Solved3.2KViews0likes1CommentChanging IP settings
Hey everyone, I tried to enter my router's settings to change the ip address, trying to make it work as an access point to extend another router's signal in my house. I guess i did something in the DHCP -if i'm not mistaken- and now i'm not able to access settings anymore. There is no internet connection on this router which is not necessary to access seetings, but since then, it's always giving me an error that there is no internet connection when i type the ip in the browser to access settings. Pleas advise. Thank you allSolved
