Had my superhub installed today, as part of my upgrade to 100Mb, and I noticed something interesting (relatively speaking of course).
Upon initial startup, the device rebooted a few times as it upgraded to the latest firmware, took about 5-10 minutes in all. All good and to be expected.
Once I logged into the device, I had a quick look at the superhub status, and noticed that I had an IP address in the 82.44.x.x range. The next thing I did was switch to modem mode as I will be using my own router.
After doing that, I went to thinkbroadband to create a new monitor as I now had a new IP address (my previous one was 94.169.x.x). Strangely, the site said that I already had a monitor for my IP address, which had now changed back to the 94.169 range!
I had thought that the change of MAC address would have meant I received a new IP address, but it seems my previous address had been assigned to my new MAC address (or the superhub had been given my 'old' MAC address).
Does this mean I now have a quasi-static IP address now or am I talking nonsense?
