[quote:84b31eb0ad="Rambler Villager"]HGC confirm the answer is NO. RC boardband configuration is DHCP. The server will assign an random IP for you. No fixed IP address. For DHCP my experience is that you need to wait several seconds to several hours for server to release the IP address assign to your first computer. So that you can use another computer to connect the internet. Fixed IP address will off course let you do it instantly.
What will happen if I install some sort of gateway directly with HGC's cable. Always online then the IP addres will not change? or it will disconnect us after 24 hours?
If so trouble and expensive I better use HKBN....$96 ja wor...

IP will not change unless HGC reset router.
There is a IP lease time on HGC router if your device / computer not renew the IP within lease time the IP will release.
If you fail to renew your IP but no other new device request IP you still have change to get your old IP.

I think HKBN is more trouble.
Same LAN infrastructure (VLAN hubs) but HKBN upstream is very.. very small.
I have a friend work in HKBN before he say HKBN sometimes use PCCW 3M/640K Broadband as upstrem of a building.
As stephenyeong said you will use the same IP address and it will not disconnect until power off or malfunction.
