Does someone knows if a static IP address is required for participation or it will work with a dynamic IP address?

The PIX value documented in https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/leaderboard/#peer-index considers weekly latency as well. If you are behind dynamic IP, you may not stay on the same IP for a week hence limiting the PIX value that your node can reach.

My IP address changes every 6 months or so, or whenever router is off for at least 2 hours, I think I'll give this a try, I'll have to set up something to warn me if IP address change, any ideas on this?

Bitnode sends out emails when your node goes up or comes down once you register an email address. If you get an email saying your node is down, but you have internet connectivity, then check if your IP address has changed.

That will work, thanks!
