Changing ISP Ip Address Using Orbi Router

Hello,

 

So I am wondering if there is a  way to change the ip address assigned by the ISP (which is Charter Communications) using the Orbi Router Settings? I had read this can be done by changing the MAC address of the router then rebooting it. Are there any thoughts on this? Thank you.

    You can't change the WAN IP address your ISP gives you. Based on a time frame and there policies, it only changes after a certain period of time that they set in there DHCP services for there customers. When this happens usually the modem would need to be rebooted, they may push a reboot or you can power it off then back on after 30 seconds.
