address you are interested because there are plenty of options to select the

1. Why changing IP address
A number of people change their exterior IP address to evade
their device from online bans that several sites compel on their personal
contents. Changing of the IP address form default to your own requirement of a
computer, router, smart device or a range extender is only constructive and
valuable when:
·
You have accidentally configured or installed an
invalid IP address.
·
Static IP address in the wrong numeric or digit
format.
·
Use of a broken or faulty device that provides
the worst IP address, especially that one, which is already being used by
another device on the same network.
·
Installation of a new device and re-configuring
your home network to use its default range of IP address.

Address
An external or a communal IP address is used to communicate
with those networks that are unknown and unidentified to you and also refused

Internet Service Providers offer static IP address to their users. Well, this
is not common for homeowners because most of the devices are configured with
the help of a dynamic IP address. So, you can request and ask your Internet
Service Provider to give you the new, valid and hacker resistance one.
