Is there something I am missing with this new router? What step(s) should I take to complete my previously perfect process with this new router? I state all of this to ask two questions:
Even if I finish the procedure, the light stays amber. When I change the MAC address, the internet light (the one next to the globe) goes from green to amber.
Change router mac address ip manual#
However, I can no longer perform the manual steps to change my IP address. Now that I write this, that statement may have been a sales upselling ploy but whatever. However, because we have a higher internet package (75/35), the technician advised that the current router (the one with the grey band) cannot handle the speed throughput and we should consider upgrading to the new version (ActionTec with the orange band around the front). We now have Verizon FiOS in the area (thank gawd!). This worked fine and I was able to continue manually changing the IP address via the MAC address as if we were still back in PA.įast forward to present day. However, because we bought the previous router from Verizon, we elected to keep the router and use it with our new provider. We moved to the New York Metro area and had no choice but to use the local provider in this area (urgh!!). Normally, one would have to disconnect the power from the router until the DNS lease expired (which could be anywhere from 8-12 hours or more). Reconnect the power again and allow the router to power cycleĪfter this sequence of steps, which normally takes no more than a couple of minutes, I would have a new public IP address. Disconnect the power from the router for another 30 seconds Reconnect the power and allow the router to power cycle Disconnect the power from the router for 30 seconds Change and apply the changes to the last two characters of the MAC Address (00, 01, 02, etc.) Click Advanced and confirm warning message Log into the web interface of the router (192.168.*.*) I would accomplish this by following these steps: To this end, I found a way to manually change the public IP address of our home network by simply changing/cloning the MAC address.
I am completely paranoid (rightly so) when it comes to my internet. We elected to buy the router provided through Verizon (Actiontec with grey band around the front). We previously had FiOS in the Philadelphia Metro area.
