You need to login to the router first.... either
http://192.168.1.1/ or
https://192.168.1.1/ will work depending on your router config. You will be prompted for a password, and unless you have changed it, i think the default password is administrator, with nothing in the username box.
This will take you to the setup screen, and at the top you have an option "mac address clone". Before clicking this, disconnect the power from your cable modem. Then have a look at the sticker on the bottom of the modem, and you will find a mac address. Fill this in on the router config page, but increase the last digit by 1. Two digits in each box, so for example if my modem's mac address was
00028a154f17, i would enter 00 02 8a 15 4f 18. If the mac address ends in a letter, bear in mind only a-f are used, so if it is F, enter 0 on the router.
When you have done this, apply the settings and then reconnect the power to the modem. When sync and rdy come on solid, unplug the router's power for 10secs, and then reconnect it. When it settles down, voila, new ip address. You can verify this by checking the "status" page and looking at the ip address there
any problems... let me know....
