What i did was to try to change my ip address for some reasons.I've used cmd to do this.The code i typed was ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew.
Since then my ip changes every time i connect to the internet.
The problem is that now i can't get my regular internet speed.I was regularly watching youtube video on 720p without any buffering problem.Now i can't even stream any video on any pixel.
Now is there any way to reverse the process or how can i get back to my default ip address & get rid of this annoying problem?

Those commands just renew your local IP address which has no impact on internet speed. In fact 9 times out of 10 you will just get re-assigned the same IP that you released.

As for your external IP address - Unless you specifically requested a static IP from your ISP (you usually pay extra for this service) your IP will change frequently. This is normal behaviour and again it should have no impact on internet speed.


Can you think of anything else you done? I really doubt IP addresses have anything to do with your problem.
