Static IP Address: A static IP address is a fixed, permanent address assigned to a device. It does not change unless manually reconfigured. Dynamic IP Address: A dynamic IP address is an address that is assigned to a device temporarily each time it connects to a network. This address can change periodically.
At home, devices connecting to a Wi-Fi network are typically assigned a dynamic IP address. This is because most home routers use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to automatically assign IP addresses to connected devices. DHCP simplifies network administration and avoids the need to manually configure IP addresses on each device. It also allows for efficient use of IP address space.
