This has been a problem for some time now. Rasp Pi 3b+ with LibreElec changes my IP more than a few times.

Edit the connection in LibreELEC Settings and Change 'dhcp' to manual. That will allow the box to keep the same ip address.

Kodi is just an application, it has no control over network settings.
The Linux OS that run LibreELEC is set to AutoDHCP by default, so it will get its IP address from the DHCP server pool, likely from your router.
Most routers will have an option to fixate IP addresses per the MAC address of each network device. Look into that.

Either you have a crappy network setup, or Kodi- and not network-related. Could also be that the SDcard is going DOA.
Provide a debug log (wiki) for initial troubleshooting.

I have static IP. It cost more, but I don't have any problems with changing Ip. maybe your problem with dynamic ip?

A static IP that you pay for is your WAN connection. (Your routers connection to the outside world).
