11Mbps Wireless Internet Broadband Router Appendix A: About Static and Dynamic IP Address A static IP address is an IP address that is assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider to be its permanent address on the Internet. It is normally used in the computer networks, where computers are connected all the times. As the Internet gets more crowded, there are not enough IP numbers to go around. For this reason, more and more ISPs are offering dynamic IP address instead.
