Keeping same IP address

[User220]

I've heard from my isp that each time my router connects to the Internet I will be given a new IP address

Now I won't be able to keep my IP address when switching between accounts. Saving my MAC address and inputting that and resetting the router would it change the IP address to what I want ?

Depends on the ISP

Semi sticky IP will

Totally dynamic wont

I have fibre optic talk talk

Haven't checked yet but from reading it seems as they use dynamic but they don't change when reboot router or even when left off overnight

I have talktalk. The IP addresses always changes when you reboot router. They are totally dynamic not semi-dynamic.

Looks like a Static IP from here, is also sounds like one.

Have a look to see if you can change the routers MAC code in the interface

Do you have fibre or normal ?

[User220]

Will go check my IP address soon

My computer is connected to my router supplied by isp.
The modem is internal inside the computer

Do I just switch off the router for 1 min the switch back on to change IP address ?

What about the modem as I can't switch that off?

Thanks

Are Virgin Media, IP's changeable?

VM works really well

Ideally you want the super hub and a sticky dynamic IP

Anyone know how to find and change MAC address super router hg635?

[JamesNorth101]

It may well not be possible on all routers.

Have a look in the settings of the router and see if you can find the option. Usually it would be under advanced settings

[User220]

It only shows MAC address and you can't edit it

Searched through all options

[JamesNorth101]

Looks like you are going to be best off with a dongle or a new home ISP then

[User220]

Is there no other way to change IP address like change router ?

Changing isp or using dongle is there a chance that a old used IP address which I may have used or anyone else on the Internet may come up?

[JamesNorth101]

Well you have tried changing the MAC. Doesnt work

You have tried turning it off and on. Doenst work

Unless you can set it to modem mode and attach a router you can change the MAC address on then your out of options

There will always be a chance that you reuse an IP. So long as everything else is different it wont matter too much as a one off

If you are really that worries just use a VPN

[User220]

If chaging router does not work will look at VPN

Hear about 26v or so working like that, anyone know any for uk Static IP
