IDK why my ip keeps changing?
I rebooted the router as well and it works for like 10 mins then starts happening again. I checked the ip address last time on whatismyipaddress.com but it kept showing the same ip for 30 mins until I tried a different ip tool then I saw that my ipv4 was changing very frequently. But is this normal? It never happened with me before.

If you want to change your IP address on your home computer, there are few ways that might work for you—some simple, some not. Before trying more complicated/technical methods described below, you can try something that's very easy.

Simply turn off or unplug your modem for about five minutes. (You don't have to turn your computer off.) In many cases this alone will change your IP address when you go back online.
If that doesn't work, try unplugging your modem overnight and checking your IP address the next morning.
To check the IP address you're currently using, simply check from any ip checker tool like this one https://www.reviewsed.com/what-is-my-ip/
