Changing IP with CLEAR ISP

[Rick Rolll]

I currently have CLEAR WIIMAX (formerly Clearwire).

I've tried changing my IP using methods describe on this site. This includes; turning router off for a few hours, command prompt command, Ip v4/6, etc... But nothing has work so far.

If anyone using this ISP has successfully change their IP using a certain method, then please let me know. Greatly appreciated.

I could turn off my router for a longer period of time but anyone know how long it usually takes?

Try overnight and see if that helps.

Does your router let you do MAC cloning?

I'm not sure if my router has mac cloning. How can i check?

Its a NetGear WGR614v7 that was provided by the ISP.

Here's the manual

Start at the bottom of 3-6. Looks like this router can substitute its own MAC with one of the MACs from the connected computers.

To get the MAC of a connected computer, go to Start, Run, Command, and type in ipconfig /all

The Physical Address of the connected card is the MAC you'll need.

If you lose connectivity with your ISP, then they authenticate using the MAC that's already in your router and MAC cloning won't help in your case.

So would changing my router change my IP?

When i change my Mac Address, nothing happened. I could still connect to the internet and everything.

...but did you get another IP with the different MAC? that is typically what happens...

Changing your router might work, but it'll be essentially the same as changing your MAC.

If you want to change out your router to see if that gives you a new IP, I'd try it with a friends router first so you don't spend money that may not fix your scenario.
