IP

My laptop has suddenly decided not to connect to my BT Smart Hub 2. I've tried both on the WiFi and wired. Both connections keep changing ip address every few seconds from the 192.168.1.### to a 169.#.#.# address, which I know suggests the DHCP is not working properly, but I can't seem to fix...

Hi, I cannot get my head around class C addresses and subnetting. First of all, when someone changes the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 on a 192.168.1.1, how can that work since it is class C? I was under the impression it had to be 255.255.255.x? Also, if you have a small LAN, and get advised to...

Greetings everyone, I humbly ask for help about my internet speed. My router (TP-Link TD-W8960N ) halves the download speed after max 1 day from its reset. By "reset" I mean that once in a couple months my connection goes completely away (router lights flashing at all), so I sistematically call...
