dynamic IP
Reassigned network identifier
A dynamic IP is an Internet Protocol address assigned temporarily by a network, changing periodically or each time a device connects.
Most home internet connections use dynamic IPs, which internet service providers rotate among customers.
This contrasts with a static IP, which remains constant: My security camera stopped working because my dynamic IP changed overnight.
