You need to enter the set up screen for the router and look at the settings. If it is set up as a DHCP server it will have a base address preset, usually 192.168.0.1 and will assign ip addresses to any equipment that is connected to it. You can change the base ip address, say to 10.0.0.1 to suit the needs of other equipment, or you can turn off the DHCP server and allow the router to be given an ip address by another DHCP server on your network, or you can assign a fixed ip address to the router. Read the manual that came with the router and check the makers web site for more information.

This depends on which IP address you are looking to change. If you are looking to change the IP address of a specific computer on your network, then you are most likely going to need to use the network manager in whatever operating system you have. It would take too much time to list the steps for all operating systems and even then I could not guarantee everything will be done correctly. Please feel free to message me. I would be glad to help you work through this problem and find a solution for you. Zilduli
All routers come with the same IP address, 192.168.1.1, but it is possible to change the IP address of a router. Firstly, you should adjust the computer's network settings and manually change its default IP address. Then to access the router, you need to change a few more network settings and then open a command prompt and type in 'ipconfig/release' and then 'ipconfig/renew'.
the router is assigned an ip address.
Your Router is assigned an IP address that is known as a public IP address then your router assigns out IP addresses that are known as local IP addresses. So the answer is yes and yes!
IP address remains the same. Mac address changes from router to router.
You have to install a router with a DHCP server option on. In that way the public address will be assign to the router and your PC will get a private ip address from the DHCP server.
One can reset the IP address with a Linksys router very easily. One must first reset the router, then go into the computer networking settings and reset within the settings.
