I currently have Virgin Business Broadband on an old Grandfathered contract of 350mb with 5 static IPs (as 1 of the services I used for work at the time needed a static IP to work with cable Broadband)
I only ever used 2 of the IPs in the end and I am now vastly over paying for slow speeds as they currently over 600mb for £20pm less than I pay
My set up is supplier cable router provided for Static IPs is in "modem mode" and all my router capabilities including WiFi all handled by my Asus AX86UPRO
I have 2 options:
Switch to a normal service with offers a dynamic IP - but i will need to ask if the modem they provide for this can be put in modem mode or ask for the service with 1 static IP into my Asus router to handle everything as it does now and run my other service out of this (instead of as the 2nd static IP - this is feasible according to IT of this company)
My concern is:
How complicated is it switching my Asus AX86UPRO from Static to dynamic IP assuming i go that way? Will I have to redo everything in settings (including the mesh i have set up with a 2nd router on wired backhaul) or is is just a case of changing the Wan settings and everything else inc DHCP etc all stays the same?
If I get the sefvice with 1 static IP I just have to enter the new IP details? (I am assuming they wont let me keep the same IP I have but I will ask)
Im out of depth with this level of detail and need to make this change with minimal impact on home connectivity so all help appreciated
