A friend asked me to look at his broadband. It is not working at times every day
Standard internal IP format is 192.168.1.x
But the IP address for said device is changing to 192.168.0.x. The default gateway is also getting replaced with a zero but subnet masks remains 255.255.255.0.
Phoned BT but they can’t see a fault anywhere nor could the girl even give any input to the problem. She said it’s normal for IPs to change. I agreed but said the 1 in the third segment should never change.
Anyway the hub was ran over a 10m extension dsl cable. It’s homehub6. I’ve put it back in the Hall with standard short dsl cable. I’ve reset the hub then set a custom SDID and new password and also set the PC to run a wired connection so he can test for a few days and see if it’s fixed or only WiFi was affected.
All devices in the house affects btw, desktop, iPad, galaxy, iPhone etc. On the iPhone you can actually see the ip info change
Has anyone seen this issue before?
