If I buy a new Modem is my IP all set to use??
 

I am going to buy a new modem regardless. But after I install it with the wireless router I have now, will this change my IP so I can make an ebay account as if I am living in a different house?

Absolutely not. Your IP is given to you by your ISP Provider. I have a feeling you have many questions regarding this, so search the forum, and you will find plenty of answers and ways to go about this.

Buying a new modem will not change your IP. Your modem has nothing whatsoever to do with your IP address, which is assigned by your ISP. On most high-speed connections, you should be able to change your IP by unplugging your modem for 10-15 seconds to reboot it.

Pretty much already covered everything you said.....but you did add to your post count

I dont know a lot about this, but I find it hard to beleive that the modem has nothing to do with your IP. I just got a new modem, and unfortunately, it has ruined everything stealth i had going on. the modem is now dominating my IP address (that used to be decided, it seemed, by my router - as I could change the MAC address there and the internet IP would change), and will not change, it seems, no matter how many hours i spend trying to figure it out, or how many times and for how long it is unplugged altogether. :(

you answered your own concern. dont make it more confusing for people, when you have no idea what your talking about

Again, your modem does not affect your IP address. It is a dumb box that gets commands from your high speed provider. Call your ISP and ask how you can get a new IP address.

Please Ovidiu, I only use a Modem to connect to internet, NOT ROUTER, I want to know if Amazon can still track my Modem MAC Address, if need to change it, as I used it with a suspended Amazon account before. Thanks.

Amazon cannot read your MAC address, everytime you are going to login to your account check on ipburger.com first to make sure you have a new IP address and you will be good to go, start making a note of those IP addresses as well to ensure they are different.

In my experience with making stealth Amazon accounts iv never been banned for having linking accounts, I would say they cant see your MAC address

The tracking of MAC address is a bad myth right now - quite a few posters have clarified that Amazon does not do that

Re: If I buy a new Modem is my IP all set to use??
 

Think of a modem like a telephone. It enables you to get phone calls but it does not effect your phone number.

No need to worry about MAC address tracking. They cannot track the MAC address.
