Linksys wrt1900ac - FTP address constanty changing - it makes me mad!

Hi there!
I activated the FTP server. All works well, BUT:
How can I stop the router from constantly changing his FTP server address? It is at first 79.222.11.35:21 then after some days 79.222.18.68:21 and so on.
Every other day it is different, which means it is problematic to work with. This behaviour is costing me lots of nerves and brings lots of trouble. I have shares for clients on the harddrive that's attached to the wrt1900 and I myself can't access the data when I need it.The irony is - I bought the router because ofits internal FTP server function, but now - it is unusable.
Any idea how I can stop this?
regards
PS: I don't know if this is relevant: The harddrive is powered by USB and goes into sleep mode when not used - I like this behaviour.
Solved!

The newest firmware release doesn't open the FTP Server to the WAN (Internet) side of the router. The previous firmware had a security problem where when FTP was enable all the files were available in the Internet side without security.
The IP Address that you posted is a public ip address (Internet side) and normally you would access the FTP server from your wan using the Links displayed in the router FTP Server section.
The public ip address you get from the ISP is dynamic which means it changes. You can purchase a static ip address from the ISP that never changes. Another option is to sign up with a DDNS service to work with your public dynamic ip address.
I'm concerned you might be running the older firmware.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

  • IP address constantly changes requiring adding new port to enable wireless printing

    I have a HP Photosmart C7280 printer setup with wireless option.  My home network uses a wireless Linksys router.  My problem is that the IP address constantly changes, so when trying to print from the desktop in the other room, I have to go through many steps: go to the printer, view the network settings, go back to the desktop in the other room, and add a new port in the printer properties in order to enable printing.  There is now quite a collection of different ports that appear in the list as this seems to happen everytime I need to print from that computer.  I don't seem to have the same  issue with the main desktop which is located near the printer even though it was setup with the same wireless option.
    I am not an expert on networking, so I don't understand why the IP address constantly changes.  My question is how to avoid this annoyance? Do I need to choose a different setup option?  The computers on the home network do not all use the same operating system so I was trying to avoid the potential headache of trying to share the printer on the network.  

    You can find the steps how to assign a  manual ip address in the link:

  • Ip address not changing

    Hi All
    I am new to iMac's for about a year now.  I had a question about ip addresses not changing.  I have various devices in the house and when I change wireless networks they automatically update their ip address.  Not so so for the iMac running Yosemite.  It seems to have stopped working some months ago and I have been getting around this by changing the ip address manually in Network Preferences.  This is becoming pain as you can imagine especially when other non familiar people use the computer.
    The reason for the two wireless networks in the house is because I have one network which is without VPN and the other VPN connected for streaming services.  I can't run all my regional services from the VPN connected network.
    Thanks in advance for any help someone can give.
    Regards
    Vivian

  • My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone.  Why?  It used to.

    My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone.  Why?  It used to.

    Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
    Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
    Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
    Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
    In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
    In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
    Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
    Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
    I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

  • Your email address has changed or is invalid

    I have been using a .MAC since the dawn of time. APPLE recently about two weeks ago prompted me for an alterante email and I provided one.  Today I tried ot make a purchase on several different devices and am getting "Your email address has changed or is invalid"
    Any suggestions?
    NOTE I am able to log into the site and icloud as I always have no issues.

    I am having this problem too. I recently changed ISP b/c I wanted the iPhone, so I had to update my iTunes username to my Gmail account.
    In fact, I logged in HERE using it as my new Apple Id... so it works!
    But for some **** reason that is driving me nuts my iPhone will not connect to the iTunes store using my new Apple Id. It keeps saying my email has changed or is invalid and asks me to sign in to change it. So I do that, and it lets me in USING MY NEW Apple ID!!!! Then I go back out to the buy the App and the madness starts all over.
    Come on Apple, do you want me to buy your apps, or what?

    From your workplace, type on the windows explorer address bar ftp://your-ip-address-at-homeort-number-you-assigned-on-the-router.
    For example, ftp://75.76.77.78:20
    Now you can copy and paste files like on an SMB protocol.

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

    You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

  • Why am I being told my email address has changed and need to change it for my apple id to work?

    Not just iTunes store, but every day or so, when I'm trying to check for updated apps in iTunes, or download something on iPhone or update OS X software via App Store, I'm told that my email address has changed and I need to update it before I can download tunes from iTunes.
    I then get redirected to a page where my apple id is shown (my email address), the address field is blank and a couple of password fields with ****** in them.
    I put my email address (apple id) back in and all is well.
    Why is it being reset all the time?
    I don't have another apple id with the same address, but I do have a lot of devices using my one apple id:
    A Mac (Lion latest)
    iPhone 4S (iOS5 latest)
    iPad 1 (iOS5 latest)
    iTunes on XP (latest iTunes)
    iPhone 3G (iPhone OS 3 - yea, really ancient)
    Apple TV 1 (latest)
    Wondering if one of these could be causing a reset.

    this can happen when the billing address in your appleid info is not EXACTLY the same as your bank details, depending of the bank (see if you right "st" instead "street" maybe)
