Does anyone know how to change my Mac Address for This Router
Does anyone know how to change my ip/router mac address because someone leaked my ip address from skype and i've been getting ddos/dos attacks lately, and it's very annoying. When I look Up my ip address it says i'm dynamic, but when i tried restarting/resetting my router it doesn't change my Ip.

It's not possible to change the MAC address on a cable modem/router. After all, cable Internet service is tied to the MAC address.
It may not work, but you can try turning off your cable modem for, say, 24 hours and hope that your ISP will release your current IP address and assign a new one.
