I'm on my last step in finishing my eBay account. I've created a new eBay and paypal account at a local library, but I can't long on at home until I change my ip address. I've tried unplugging the modem but that didn't work because I'm connected to a linksys wireless-g router. I then tried to log onto my routers URL page at http://191.168.1.1 when I get the message box to enter my username and password, I input admin as the password but nothing happens. I'm all out of ideas, my last step is to get dial up even if it is very slow. However, if I buy a new router from the store, will I get a new ip address? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
I wasn't able to change my mac address, because I couldn't get passed the router log in page. Its my father in laws router and they are gone on vacation for the week. I tried to input "admin" in the password box and nothing happened, it just kept asking for my username and password. I just order a landline service to be installed, but they cant come out until thursday, so I will be taking the safe route and using dial up.

These a reset button on back of the router u will need a ink pin to push it in do this for 30 secs and everything is back to defualt and then u can log into the router useing admin
I never knew buying a new router changed your ip, i always thought it was your isp ???
its cause a new router would have a new mac address which changes the ip but the ip from the modem stays the same no matter what the router just changes it
Re: if I buy a new router will my ip address change?
Hello everyone it's a pleasure to have found this forum. During Christmas eBay linked my daughter account to my account she is 18 years old and she sold her cellphone on eBay and a month later the guy filed a dispute and being irresponsible she didn't follow up and attend to the matter and that was the end of my eBay life....so I thought until I stopped crying picked myself up and took to google I figured it was a high probability I was not the first that something like this has happened to. Between google and you tube I found this forum and read everything that I could find and I must say you guys ROCK. I hate flying blind or being a crash dummy. Lol after reading the information here I realized that I was going to crash and burn at some point anyway because of the way I was selling and withdrawing money from PayPal. I lost everything meaning EBay and PayPal with 1,000 still in the account that I can get in 180 days. I am aware this may sound crazy and stupid but now knowing what I know now I feel more in control of my destiny.YES I also purchased the book because of the forum. Soon as I purchased the book I started reading because I still had some questions and concerns and I still do but I know that I'm in the right place. I love the old saying give a man fish and he can eat for a day teach a man to fish and he can eat forever and here you can definitely eat forever. Thanks a million

I actually came to the post because I had a question about if I buy a modem and a router will my IP address change because I have tried weeks to change it with no success. I forgot about the question at hand and wanted to give thanks sorry about the rambling it just all came pouring out.

In most cases all you really need to do is change the Modem, should be enough.
Re: if I buy a new router will my ip address change?
Changing the modem has always worked for me. I told my isp that my modem was not functioning properly and they just had me drop it off and pick up a new one at the location near my home. Another time I just unhooked isp modem and purchased my own. New IP each time.
