Ting Internet Static IP Addresses
IP addresses identify your internet connection for sending and receiving data. Dynamic IP addresses can change over time, and for the typical home internet user, this doesn't matter.
A static IP address, by contrast, doesn't change over time. It always stays the same. This may be desirable for Business and Enterprise customers specifically.
Using Ting's Static IP(s)
Single Static IP
The only configuration setting to be mindful of is that your device is set up to acquire an IP address through DHCP--this is the default for most routers.
Ting's single static IPs are delivered automatically to your equipment by our DHCP server, which will always give you the same IP address.
There's no need to specify the IP in the static assignment or the gateway/subnet mask.
/29 Block (8IPs, 6 Usable)
For a block of static IPv4 addresses, there's a mix of automatic (DHCP) and manual assignment. Along with your static block, we'll set aside one extra static IP address which we deliver to your equipment's WAN through DHCP.
You should then:
- Manually assign one IP from your block of 6 addresses to the LAN side of your firewall/gateway device (while the WAN side of the same device has that extra IP from the DHCP server).
- Manually assign the remaining 5 usable IP addresses from your block to any devices connected to your firewall/gateway device.
- The IP address you assigned to the firewall/gateway device in the previous step becomes the gateway IP address for the rest of the devices using a static IP from the block.

Static IP Address Options
Single IPv4 Address
- Available to Business or Enterprise customers.
- Delivered via DHCP, so no configuration is needed.
IPv6 Addresses
We have started rolling out IPv6 functionality across those Ting markets that have technology supporting IPv6.
- Customers who wish to use IPv6 can set their routers to request an IPv6 network address along with the standard IPv4 address using standard DHCPv6.
- Customers can use IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.
Specialized Static Blocks
- This would be a /29 block or larger.
- Only available to Enterprise Gigabit customers.
- Larger blocks are available upon request, up to a /24.
- Prices are determined during your discussions with our enterprise team.
