router issues for IP address change
 

hi all

i have a slight problem

i am running a Technicolor TG582n router for my fibre broadband

i reboot to change IP for each EB acc

the router takes upwards of 10 mins to connect when i reset

however if its off overnight it connects after 30 seconds on reboot

is there a way of rebooting quicker as switching between 10 + accounts is a pain

I have a way that can do it without switching it off.

i use a router and can swap between user accounts.

it automatically changes the mac address thus changing the to I.P Pool for that user account.

Its not easy but its really safe for everything.

Sounds as if a cold boot is the better option i.e. power off rather than a reboot which I assume you do through the browser interface.

Powering off will probably reset the bootrom as it powers down thereby allowing a faster aquisition of IP on start up

i turn the power off for 30 seconds and it takes 15 mins to reconnect to the internet

however if the power is turned of for a long time then it connects quickly

bizzare

sounds a bit techie for me man :attention:

however if it is reasonably simple ,i would appreciate the method

thank you

i use a program called bootit bare metal to create my windows accounts or windows installs on the same hard drive.

this allows me to use technitium mac address changer on each windows install and set a different M.A.C address for each Windows install.

every time i boot in to a different account on my computer technitium changes the mac to the i.p pool for that account automatically meaning i never having to worry about i.p addresses

it might work the same on different windows user accounts if you log off each one when changing, I'm not sure.

Call the service provider for new modem? Sounds odd on the tech side.

Tried out with a modem of mine - should not take so long.

@RS

my old modem/s used to reconnect in seconds

since i went fibreoptic ive had this problem

i think i will call their tech line to see if they have an answer

thank you

@TSMT

Who is the ISP?

:deadhorse:

Hello Lady, ISP is Plusnet

:yar: Hello too.

So it's resold from BT?

Ever had congestion troubles?

yes its a BT resell

i sometimes get it after a large meal but it goes away with a few rennies :d

no not really any problems i think its a really good service

i live in a village where theres only about 20 people got fibre (i was the 2nd)

i get upwards of 40meg on a regular basis

well well well :redface:

ive just logged into my router admin

theres a little box that says "disconnect"

and guess what.............when you click it, it disconnects me

then a little box immediately appears that says "connect"

even stranger is that when i click "connect"

it connects me to the internet

with a different IP

IN SECONDS

hmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe i need to read to make the effort this late in life to start reading user manuals

problem solved i think :-)

hours of time per week saved


IM SO HAPPY

ooooooooooh

and in there is a list of every ip ive ever connected to
