So i have a router with built in modem downstairs connected to cable for the major internet connections around the house for wifi. Upstairs i connected 1 old router as a bridge from one of my laptops so i can use ethernet upstairs right. I was wondering if i can change the ip of the router i use as bridge upstairs and when i connect other things to it will change on them? Shouldnt there be a way to adjust ip on just that bridge router upstairs that is connected to a laptop that is using the main router downstairs wifi? or the isps dynamic ip is the same all over the house everywhere? Just a quick question? Thanks everyone

You can change the internal IP address for your home network, however the external address for your house cannot be changed and will appear as the same for all the devices in the house.

your modems IP will always be issued by the ISP's DHCP server, you can on your routers change the local ip scheme for you devices to use as well as the bridged router depending on how you set it up though so long as both routers are connect to the same modem your public ip will be the same. you can change you Public ip through cmd prompt or by changing your routers mac address and rebooting the modem so long as you are not on a static or a mac assigned IP from your ISP.

A MAC address can't be changed though, its the hardware ID given to the network card in the router from the factory.

No it is possible to change the MAC address by cloning it.

Yeah I know how to really change the IP with ISP and by turning it off for long period of time but was just wondering if there is a quick way to change public. I know private is easily changeable. Its okay Im gonna be taking Networking and Computer informational Science classes this summer in college so I will be able to figure everything out haha. Thanks

sorry to point out to you that in fact you can change or clone or spoof a mac address on not only a computer but also on a router and on modems or smart phones lolz :p
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

also on Linux you can use the install the package macchanger which is a terminal utility used to change you hardware address for stealthier network exploring.
or on a modem you can run haxoware and use what ever HFCmac or certs you can get ahold of from sniffing the Gateway.

maybe you should google a little more before posting incorrect information in the support section.

Okay chill, i was wrong. I was pointing out though it isn't, or isn't meant to be as easy as changing an IP address. And anyway changing MAC Addresses wouldn't have any affect on which IP is assigned by the ISP.
