Quick question about router

[LOST TALE]

How do I access the router?

 

I think I have to enter the IP.

Where should I look for it ? (fastest & easiest way)

 

I need to change my WAN IP adress now.

What router?

[ZetZet]

Linksys routers, for example, use 192.168.1.1 for their internal IP address. D-Link and Netgear routers typically use192.168.0.1. Some US Robotics routers use 192.168.123.254, and some Belkin and SMC routers use 192.168.2.1.

Click Start

Type CMD into the search bar

Click cmd

Type arp -a and press Enter.

It's probably the IP address with the 1 at the end. Specifically X.X.X.1 or as an example of what it could be: 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1.

Changing IP is done from ISP, or you can try to disconnect or reconnect if you have dynamic ip.

There's internal and external IP. Internal can be changed from the Router. External is changed from the ISP. 

Internal is under LAN or Local Area Network. External is under WAN or Wide Area Network.

Is that it in all the cases? or is there an exception?

[Vitalius]

Usually yeah. I can't think of any exceptions personally. Though the thing the IP is under can be more general. Like "Networking" or "Connection Settings".

if you want to change your computer's IP in the LAN, you should do it in the pc's options, not in the router

eh, changing your lan ip won't matter, try to shutdown the router and wait a minute or two before plugging it in again

that might change wan?

[Ciccioo]

the wan address of the router is not important, it's just there for a point-to-point lan with your ISP's gateway

Look I want to appear as with a different Ip adress on the itnernet and I am partially confused.

 

What can I do? call the ISP, thats all?

[ig33ku]

Ok your router's IP either WAN or Wireless is only for your private network reference. Your internet IP is assigned to you by your ISP when your modem/router connects to the internet. That IP can be random or a permanent IP depending on your internet package your ISP gave you in the form of Static IP and Dynamic IP. If your internet package states you have dynamic IP then simply a reconnect to the net by turning off and on your modem will issue you a new IP usually unless they have too many customers using all the available IPs in which you may get back the old IP again. Just power on and off until you get a new one.
