Nighthawk CAX30S- How do I turn on Modem Mode?
I'm waiting for my older brother (he has the app) to wake up so that he can do this, as I'm unable to login to routerlogin.net both on my computer and phone. My understanding is the following: we ...
Just spoke to a technician from my ISP who spoke to his supervisor who said "the ISP doesn't give out the power to change IPs to people under residential plans" or something along the lines of that. I think the only thing we can do is change ISP. I'm gonna update the post with this information.
EDIT: Can't edit the original post, in summary for anyone experiencing the same / similar problem as me; Mediacom (my ISP) technician and his supervisor were unable to change my IP, said we would have to pay hundreds of dollars more per month for a business plan just for that privilege. I've heard of people in the US having dynamic IPs that change public IPv4 every time the router is reset, so I have no idea why Mediacom would take such a stance on this issue. I think the last resort is to call them and let them know we'll have to change ISP if they can't resolve this issue for us.
HWID band tends to be specific to the hardware device its played on. Is he on a different hardware or console?
That might help.
Otherwise your SOL. Bans are for a reason and its not easy enough to just change the modem to fix it.

simple test of that is to hotspot your phone and connect a pc/laptop to it. If that doesn't work, changing ISP's won't help
Also changing WAN IPs depends on ISP policy as well. Some ISP have dynamic changing policy that for one given WAN IP, has to be leased for a period of time, then if the policy allows for it, after the pollicy least expires then the WAN IP could change to a different IP on a reboot, power cycle or reset, depending on availability. And again, depending on ISP policys. Not all ISPs are the same.
