BT home Hub IP Change
 

Hi, Read the stealth guide in reference to changing IP, but found with the bt home hub 5, the mac address is fixed and cannot be altered. But on reading the forum a came accross some info that apparently simply switching the hub off and on again changes the IP.. I confirmed this using IP burger, each time I reboot the hub I get a new IP... Can I take it that this is what was needed so as long as I switch the windows account user and reboot my bthome hub I am golden?

Yes works fine just turning it off and back on, I use the same system with BT HUB

Make sure you keep track of the IP address so they do not overlap.

That makes life easier, although I did just order 3 new broadband phone lines for work, went with 2 from talk talk and one from plusnet. I also picked up a o2 dongle to test but think I am going to try the Mifi that has been mentioned on the forums..is there much difference between the E5330 and the E5331 (which I cant see on their website)

The newer MiFi is a lot quicker to boot up from what I remember, I have the older version and it takes around 20 seconds, so it's nothing major in any case.
