I have have a cable internet connection, and the subscription I have is only for a dynamic IP address. I have a hardware router for my network, and I was wondering if using the router is a good way to "hold on" to a dynamic IP address so that it can be like a static IP address? I've noticed that my router has had the same WAN address provided by my cable provider for over two months since I rebooted the router.
Using a router seems like a sure way to keep a dynamic address, since the router is always on. The only downsides I can think of are cable or power outages...
