Careful on pulling the cable out - the connections get worn out in time

I have virgin media and run their modem/router in modem mode only and have my own wifi (1 gig with dd-wrt firmware). To change ip i simply log on to wifi and change mac address by one number save and shut down. Then reboot the modem then reboot the wifi and voila a new ip address. record the mac address and new ip on a spreadsheet. In all my recording of ip address i have only had one ip address re-issued after an 18 month period.

thas a local ip address and not the one thats needs changing mate

Re: Bt hub ip address
 

That is what I was thinking, sounds a bit like changing local address rather than external IP. Don't people realise there are two.

First things first, you should know there are two kinds of IP addresses: local and external/public. Your local IP address is what identifies your computer or device to the local network. Your external/public IP address is what the rest of the internet sees. First, let's take a look at how to find your external/public IP address since that's a lot easier and the more commonly needed number.
