It's only seldom if you have only 1 or two devices and never reboot them.

It happens fairly often if you have several devices connecting at 
different times.

Yes, you can switch to using static IPs, but it's also a hassle, and 
other disadvantages.

I have a network drive which always has the same IP and it is a good 
solution, but doesn't work with apple's "files" app. Files sets the 
drive as read only. It's been this way for a long time, so I doubt apple 
will ever fix it. I found another app which DOES work, but there's no 
way to get the native files crapp to write anything to the drive.
