My other ex providers routers was fine
Got a draytek 2920n and sometimes the mobiles,laptop,other pc even the main pc i am on now will appear in the 2920 data base with different addresses (example the mobile has 168.192.1.13 then when it go off internet then the laptop take this same address but this happens from time to time and not each time the device will go off line)

This cost as result some times the device to show limited connectivity (which maybe is a deeper story but lets leave it)
As said the previous provider routers was keeping always same address for each device not matter if had performed reboot reset change firmware of previous modem/routers

So with out details is this a fault/bug or normal for the router and is just me don't know to use the draytek (almost all settings are set by factory default) as it little over complicated for my little knowledge
Thanks

If I understand you correctly you should be able to fix this by setting a static ip addresses for your devices or removing static ip's that may be set for devices.

The problem itself sounds to me as if some devices have static ip's set so for example your laptop has the static ip of 192.168.1.13 while the mobile is getting an ip automatically assigned by the router via dhcp. This means when the laptop connects it requests the 192.168.1.13 ip rather than asking the router for a different ip which is not in use (dhcp). If a device has a static ip set it will not work unless the router gives it that ip.

It ofcourse could also be that both the laptop and mobile have 192.168.1.13 set as a static ip.

It could also be just a bug with the firmware of the router but I have no experience of this router so I do not know that for certain.

I hope that can help you.

As jaster said. Most/the majority/all (I think I have covered my bases for ferretuk) good routers have the option to assign static ip addresses based on learned mac addresses so you can setup port forwarding etc. You might find that your router does this by default which would be cool but I am confised why a factory reset wouldn't clear it. Either way though, wouldn't you prefer/isnt it a good idea to assign static ips to each device if you have got the same pcs/laptops/printers/phones connecting to the router all the time.

Thanks General & Ferretuk, I do understand NAT etc, what confused me was having both functions in one box having been used to a separate modem & router for many years. As Homer would have it, DOH!
