The figure above shows how a Dynamic IP address might change over time and that a Static (Dedicated) IP always stays the same. We can also see how it is easier to reach a device that has a Static IP address rather than a Dynamic one, because at any given we will be able to reach the device via the same IP address. From a remote control perspective this is a huge benefit when it comes to convenience. But it also possible to set up remote access to a device that has a Dynamic IP address using '''[[Dynamic DNS]]'''.
