Can't you solve this problem by assigning each stealth account its own dongle? That way you keep each stealth separate and do not accidentally get the same IP.

i read that a router wont change your ip address somewhere is this wrong? does swapping your router change your ip?

If I have TW as a wireless, but connect to foxfi thru phone, will this change ip?

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

I think you misunderstand how it works. Connecting to your wifi through your phone does nothing. You have to change your IP manually. I have Time Warner and even though it's Dynamic it is very difficult to change IP's but it may be different for you.

I have TWC and a wireless router and can not get a new IP address to save my life once I turned off the modem for around 29 hours and still the same could some one please explain the router thing and how you use it?

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

I'm so confused. What's a dongle? I also have TWC but I've been using a program that gives me a new ip... I'd rather be able to just change my ip with TWC.

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

I am assuming they are referring to a wireless dongle (to connect to wireless via usb).

Be careful with the programs, make sure it is not just a proxy switcher..

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

Just to add my comments, I do not have an issue with changing IP's via TW. I goto my wireless routers portal and change the mac address under WAN settings, then yes "everything" connected to the router will stop receiving data, then I turn off modem and router, and turn on and it is changed.

I have also gone the jetpack route with many other accounts and that works beautifully too.

I have TW and recently upgraded to faster speed but had to get their modem/router combo which is an Arris DG860.

I use to be able to go into my WAN setting and change MAC address, then reset with my Linksys to get fresh IP. But the Arris combo has all those settings greyed out?

Is it possible to ungrey the options? Could I also bridge my Linksys to Arris and then get new IP that way? If so how?

I see the bridge option under the Arris but it resets back to default after I hit apply. I think I recall reading you have to call TW and have them enable this?

Or should I just get dongle?

@jpinkman

I don't have time Warner but your situation sounded similar to mine. My ISP made me get their smc modem and didn't allow me to change IP whatsoever. Got another modem that my ISp approved and then problem was solved. If you can't change your Mac, getting another router should not be a problem

@glacier922

I will goto TW tomorrow and switch out the combo router/modem for just the modem and use my linksys like I use to in the past.

They told me I had to get that specific router/modem combo last time in order to achieve the faster DL speeds.

Just looked on TW site and they now have stand alone modems that can achieve the 75/100mbs speeds. Buy Your Modem | Time Warner Cable

Hopefully I can just trade my combo out because I do want to have to buy one

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

Time Warner is very difficult to change IP's....I'm with TW and I've only ever been able to change IP's like twice.

I eventually moved to a Dongle/Mifi, not as fast but super effective.

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

Oh I did not know it was that hard. I use to just update the linksys mac and that would change the IP, well I thought it use to.

I used to post with multiple accounts on craigslist using this method and was under impression my ip was changing in order to post from multiple accounts but that was like 2 years ago.

May just go with the dongle/mifi since I could use with multiple accounts, was just worried about hogging the data with uploading pics for listings.

Any suggestions on best plan or price for the dongle for stealth in the US?

Using a verzion Jet pack and loving it. it is fast and not that expensive.

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

I have comcast as a ISP and they gave me their own modem for internet usage. I tried to turn off the modem for 24 hours but it didnt change my IP address. Do i need to call comcast to change my IP address or is there another simpleler way around this?

please help!

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

TW is very difficult changing IP's....even if turning off/on modems, etc. Calling in might work fine 1 time but calling in EVERY time you need a new IP will result in TW asking why you need to change IP every time.

You can try maybe changing the MAC address but there's no guarantee. I have TW and pretty much stopped trying to change IP so now I just use a Dongle.

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

I think your issue is that you have a static IP.

I did some research looks like you will need a business account setup so that you can obtain a dynamic IP connection.

which allows you to have a pool of IP's

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

I'm with Brighthouse and have the same Motorola Surfboard modem/router with the same issues. If ISP's like Time Warner, Brighthouse and Comcast all have a problem getting a new IP with a simple MAC address change then what is the best ISP for stealth purposes?? Please help, got everything else in place and can't get past this IP situation. Thanks

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

I'm with Time Warner and I went with using a Hotspot, in the end it's a lot easier to use and mobile which allows me to stealth from where ever I am. You can also look into Phone tethering.

Re: IP change for Time Warner: alternative suggestions
 

i prefer phone tethering. But if you may need to change time warner just make sure you have the basic internet box without the router combined. This way you can add your own router and edit mac address alot easier.
