My ip has changed to 2.96. What does this mean?

As title asks, today i moved my router and ofc i had to switch it off. After rebooting i noticed my ip has changed. ipchicken tells me its 2.96.16..... I have never had this happen before. What would be causing this? router settings are exactly the same.

Thanks
Marc

Nothing to worry about. Just means when you powered off your router, your IP was assigned to someone else. So, you got a new one. What ISP you with? Never had my IP that low before

I have seen IP's that low before on Sky.
