Switch Devices while Keeping the Static IP- Article no. 1272


Introduction

Static IP Address are available to Business Solutions customers across all Sites

  • They are no longer available to Residential customers effective November 1, 2023
     
  • Existing Residential Static IP customers are grandfathered

 
Important: switching devices without following these instructions results in the loss of the Static IP address

Resolution Steps

  • Verify the Cable Modem is connected to the Network and the old device via Ethernet
     
  • The customer releases the Static IP address assigned to the device, then replaces the old device with the new device
     
  • Power cycle the Cable Modem so it pulls the same Static IP to issue to the new device
     
  • If the customer swaps Cable Modems, the Static IP address transfers to the new modem
     
  • If these steps don't resolve the issue, click Create Work Order or Technical Case in BOLT
