What's the difference between a static IP, sticky IP, and dynamic IP address?

Like a static IP, a sticky IP address will not change every time you restart your modem/router & reconnect to our network. This is useful if you wish to remotely access your network from outside your property.

This may include remote access to your router, CCTV cameras, or a home media server or NAS device. The important point to note with sticky IPs is that on rare occasions and as deemed necessary by our network team, there may be instances where your sticky IP address could change.

A dynamic IP address changes most frequently, as it is temporarily assigned to a device from a pool of available addresses by your Internet Service Provider and can change periodically. Your IP address is available after your service becomes active.

You can quickly check what this is by going to http://whatismyipaddress.com or typing 'what's my IP address?' into Google.
