August 25, 201114 yr I am supposed to have a dynamic IP address, yet whenever I reset my router it isn't changing, how can I get it to change manually? Using a netgear router if that's any help. Thanks beforehand.

August 25, 201114 yr Routers usually have a web-interface, try connecting to that and look for an option to release/renew DHCP.That works for me, anyway. [Whip drops: 13]

Depends on what part of the router you are doing it on, most of the time I see it, it is on the WAN interface. Whether or not rebooting the router, or leaving it off overnight will help depending on how the ISPs equipment is set up. I work as a network engineer at a local ISP here, and I can tell you our routers hand out 24 hour leases. So if your lease doesn't renew overnight, then leaving it off overnight will not work for our equipment. Your router should have an option for "MAC address cloning" or something like that. Put in a different MAC address and restart the router and you should pull a new IP address, regardless of lease times.

August 26, 201114 yr Ehm, just find that and put any random number? 12 digit hexadecimal (0-f) EDIT: Just change any one of the numbers by one, it will be good enough.

August 26, 201114 yr Nope, you just have to go to the router config page, which'll be something like 192.168.x.x, where both x's are (normally) a combination of 0, 1 and 2, eg 192.168.1.1 . It could be entirely different though, mine is 192.168.1.254. Just search your router model and then 'config page address' or something similar. Then look in an A-Z of functions, which your router should probably have, then go to DCHP management. RIP TET "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche
August 27, 201114 yr It's not the router that you have to unplug and plug back in. It's the Modem. ^^This. Might really help us if you can give us a model type/number for the router. Easy google searches for user guides would do wonders.

Easy google searches for user guides would do wonders. Depends. If the modem has the ability to NAT, then yes. If not, then no. We set up a fair amount of our DSL customers with modems in bridged mode, and they don't pull IP addresses, the devices behind it do. All of our wireless broadband and fiber customers own equipment pulls the public IP addresses, though the equivalent of the modems pull separate address (in a local dhcp subnet)

All of our wireless broadband and fiber customers own equipment pulls the public IP addresses, though the equivalent of the modems pull separate address (in a local dhcp subnet) I see, the 2 ISPs in my region are both using NAT capable modems and it is the modem that pulls the ip address for both of them.
August 27, 201114 yr most likely a modem/router since these are ubiquitous here. I've not seen a seperate modem and router in a very, very long time Steam | Soup | Last.fm

Edit: Model is DG834PM, just noticed it pops up when you log in.
