It needs to be changed for security reasons. Every time I check on http://www.whatismyip.com/ it's always the same. This is the IP that I need to be changed and apparently it's coming from my router.

I have a Netgear router. Before you tell me to call Netgear CUSTOMER Service/Technical Support I already did and they want money to give me help and I'm broke so that's out of the question.

Can someone help me change my router's IP address?

I'd really appreciate any help with this.

Thanks. Quote from: AlwaysScrewed on FEBRUARY 08, 2012, 03:21:18 PM

The only people that can change your IP is your service provider.  They usually need a very specific reason to change it too.

I asked them already and they said I had to contact my router service. They won't help me because they want money and like I said I'm broke.

That is your only option.

I guess I'm screwed then. AGAIN.

I don't understand why I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to have a static IP.

Maybe I will have another little "chat" with my ISP about this idiocy...

A static IP from your ISP or set from your router or network adapter? They are two different things. But based on your post, it looks like you are using the same IP address configured on your network as static instead of dynamic address.
