How to change your IP in 10 seconds with Sky Broadband ( tutorial )
So many members are asking how to change their IP address so I thought I would share my way and this is the best method for stealth accounts, it is the fastest and easiest. No more getting up to reboot your router and waiting 10 minutes for it to reset, do it from your desktop in a few seconds.
You will need Sky Broadband for this to work but its worth changing to this for ease of use.
You will also need the Firefox browser and the add on 'anonymoX'

I thought this might have gotten a better response :(
I tell you this is the way forward I know there are other ways I have sat here for hours thinking of other methods but the only other way is to use
a dongle for each account, so 10 accounts = 10 dongles. This would be my second best way and you would have to label each dongle, and have PAYG.

Also seems to work with BT. If you log on to your router theres an option saying 'disconnect from internet'. If you disconnect then reconnect a few seconds later you get a new IP. Or at least it did the three times I tested it.

With switching from account to account 10 seconds is better than 90 seconds what the router takes it all adds up and yes I have timed it numerous times.
It can take up to 2 minutes to reset itself by that time I have sorted 3 more accounts out.

You can do this with the new sky hub router, follow the steps above but instead of clicking "sky test" which is no longer an option click connection status disconnect and then connect.. new IP address everytime... saves a good 2 - 3 minutes of resetting your router!!

This is a great idea. I am gutted as I only moved from sky broadband to plusnet.
I do not operate multiple accounts as I easily get confused lol
What I do is order a new router from pluset for £40.00 - This gives me a new mac addressor router and IP address is changed too.
I know you can just turn the thing on and off, but I worry about mac address of router. I now they don't read Mac addresses of computers.
