The simple answer is to buy a dongle so the IP address is totally different to your usual one. Many available on ebay for cheap price, just check coverage at your postcode before buying to make sure signal is good.

Phone tethering is also a cheap and solid option

Your router does not have an influence on your ISP assigned address, it is their external network which assigns such.

For those without a Static IP address, switching off the router etc. could allow for a change of IP, but as yours is static, this will not work.

If possible, ask them to switch off the Static IP assignment. If such is not possible, please consider the other options mentioned above.
