You need to change what the outside world can see - Wide Area Network (WAN). Both LAN and Wireless are local. Good luck!

^^^Follow Gotebay's advice.

It is the WAN MAC you want to change. I'll explain the difference & why it is your WAN.

LAN MAC - used for your 4-port switch and is seen by your wired clients.
WLAN MAC (Wireless LAN) - this is for your wireless NIC and is seen by your wireless clients.
WAN MAC - this is for your wan port and is seen by your ISP.

You want to alter the MAC that is seen by your ISP to obtain a new IP address, which is the WAN MAC.

Best of luck :thumb:
