In the past I have been able to ssh into the pi easily but a couple of days ago I could no longer find the pi ip address in the router page. I made a fresh install of raspbian and plugged it into a ethernet cable and it tells me that the ip is 169.254.211.205, which I find very strange. I would usually expect an ip address something like: 192.168.20.x, but I don't know why the pi is giving me this ip address or how to go back to the old one. Does anybody know what this problem is and how to fix it?

it's a 0-conf address, you have to set your IP by hand: connect your PI to the TV and edit the /etc/host file properly– DDSCommented May 25, 2018 at 13:46

4I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it was a hiccup fixed by rebooting the router; no longer reproducible.– fixer1234Commented May 26, 2018 at 23:17
