How To Change IP Address on a Mac?

Your IP address is assigned by your Internet Service Provider. If it's static, you won't be able to change it.



If it's dynamic, you might be able to.



If you have a static IP address, that means it's always the same when you connect.



No matter what, getting a new router or a new modem or a new anything else won't change it unless you change your Internet Service provider.



That speaks of your public IP address.



If you have a router, you can have lan side IP address which are unique to your router but they also have the need for NAT translation to allow you to get to the internet.



NAT transposes the IP Addresses in the inbound and outbound packets so they route to the correct computer on your side of the router but on the Internet side of the router, they carry your public IP address.



The problem with router side IP addresses is that they don't route over the internet. They are in a reserved range.



Back to your original question.

In addition to the above ways to get a new IP address, you are allowed to assign static IP addresses with your router if you have one.



Getting a new router while having the same ISP will not necessarily get you a new public IP address unless your ISP allows you to have dynamic IP addresses.
