I had an issue related to IP change. Is it typical for a raspberry piRaspberry Pi to randomly change the IP? When I ran the command ifconfigifconfig, I noticed that under wlan0 inetwlan0 inet, my IP address changed. I was made aware of this when I noticed I couldn't connect via SSH. I'm not sure if this was a result of me touching the wlan0wlan0 settings to set power management off and also adding and removing these 2two lines in the /etc/network/interfaces/etc/network/interfaces file:

  1. source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.dsource-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
  2. wireless-power offwireless-power off

My ultimate goal before all this happened, was to get the power management setting for wifiWi-Fi to be permanently off. My raspberry piRaspberry Pi disconnects from the wifiWi-Fi network every few days.

Im hoping someone can shed some light on what happened and how to successfully stop the wifiWi-Fi dropping connection.
