FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We can configure a static IP, only if the customer is using a Suddenlink supplied modem/router combination; otherwise, since the static IP settings is contained in the customer’s own equipment, it would be up to the customer to accomplish the configuration. 

All of the Suddenlink cable modems that have a single cat5 LAN port are automatically in bridged mode.

All the Suddenlink Modems that have four Cat5 LAN ports are automatically in router mode.

Can the modem Suddenlink provided be changed from the mode described above?

No, Suddenlink supplied modems have configuration files that automatically override any settings that can be changed so they will reset back to the original mode described above.

Moving? Let Suddenlink make it EASY for you!

To ensure your move is a success, it is vital to notify us as quickly as possible.

The first step is to call 800-490-9604 and provide us with the following:

• What is the new service address?
• When do you want to move?
• Will you need internet at both locations simultaneously?
• Fax number or email address where we can send the required paperwork. (Learn more)

Once the paperwork is returned to us, we can verify if the new location is serviceable and schedule your installation appointment. This can take 7-10 business days. We will notify you of the installation appointment day and time as soon as it is scheduled.

No, a static IP will not make your service any faster or more stable than it is.

The main advantage of a static IP is that a customer's Static IP does not change automatically without notification from us. They are easier to memorize if you need to log in remotely, and you can use it for services that need to use an IP that won’t change without your knowledge. Examples are mail servers, video camera systems, etc.
