Yes, my phone does that by default. It's highly likely to keep changing IPs everytime WiFi goes up and down on it, that'll go through all the spare leases on the DHCP server. If your access point is using the MAC to allow access, you've got to manually intervene (if you know how), either to allow every damn MAC, or figure out how to unrandomise your phone. Other dumb things: Newly supplied, by the ISP modem/router, decides that occasionally it wants everyone to login to a page to be allowed to access the internet, WiFi or ethernet. There ain't no way to make the smart TV log in to the router. Nor the other devices that would like to update their firmware from their manufacturer's website. Some designers just seem to see potential features and go, "ooh let's do that," without thinking of consequences. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.36.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 21 11:57:15 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
