plea2303 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hi, I have a 150/10 cable connection. It is a business plan. I would have the possibility to change from my current dynamic IP to a static IP. Both work with ipv4 protocol. At the moment I have a fritzbox modem-router combo and my Netduma is in the dmz of the fritzbox. I can't put it in bridge mode because I don't have access to the WAN port. My question would be, if there are any big pros or cons, to change to a static IP? I just read that changing to static, would disable the router function and then firewall of the fritzbox and then I would have access to the Wan port. Are there any other benefits, especially for gaming? I don't need to run a server or anything like that. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted March 26, 2017 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 26, 2017 As far as I am aware, I don't believe you will see any benefit when gaming on a static IP compared to dynamic - running a server is one of the main benefits, but since you're not I'd say you'd be fine on either. And the advice I would give to anyone is that if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it! If you believe you require a static IP for your Fritzbox then we'll help you to set it up, but given that you won't experience better gameplay, I would personally leave those settings alone.

BIG__DOG Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have a static ip as standard from my isp and it didn't noticably improve my gaming so don't worry about it unless you want to host a game server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plea2303 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks for your replies. So I think I will just leave it like it is. I thought it would be better to have access to the Wan port, because it is the recommended way of setting up the netduma. But if it doesn't make a difference to putting it in the dmz, I better don't mess around with my setup. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e38BimmerFN Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Only differences between Static and Dynamic ISP is that you are assigned a IP address on a static so when your ISP modem/ONT comes online or is reset, it always gets the same WAN IP address. Dynamic means that you will have a WAN IP address for a period of time and depending on what your ISPs policy is, when your modem/ONT is reset or rebooted, the IP address may change to something else as they may set a lease time frame on IP addresses that are Dynamic.

If it doesn't work out then you can always change it, though you won't notice the difference in-game.
