How to Change WAN IP Address
C7000 Nighthawk - AC1900. Firmware Version: V1.01.34 I am trying to change my WAN IP address (my public IP address, not the private addresses). Some information: I called my ISP and the...
No problem. The issue with my setup was that I was using a router/modem combo. To fix my problem, I had to buy a dedicated router, and switch the modem/router combo to only modem mode.
After I had one dedicated modem and one dedicated router, I was able to mac address clone the router (or change the routers MAC address). Once I changed the routers MAC address, my public IP address changed. I can repeat this process whenever I want.
You can buy a router for ~$50. MAC address cloning is the easiest way to change your public IP address.
Would I also then be plugging the Ethernet from my Pc to the router at this point as well? Or keep it in the modem?
Ethernet would go into the router. The modem wouldn't do anything except forward the signal from your ISP to the router.
- Hopefully this one will do. Best bang for the buck. What do you think of this one ?
