IP address understanding

By changing the mac address of your router you might be assigned a new ip by your isp. In any case it would be best to contact them about your ip.

If your IP address is, in fact, static, you will have to contact your ISP.

>Also I have a modem and a wireless router and they seem to have different ip's?

Your router has to assign a local address to each of your devices. Don't confuse this with the IP address your ISP assigned to you.

Every computer has to have a different IP: if a computer didn't have an IP you wouldn't be able to talk to it, and if two computers had the same IP you wouldn't know which one you were talking to.

>all i know is my ip address is static
you are thinking of a mac address which would be like a vin number, it tends to stick with you. your ip address is issued by a dhcp server, ie your router. so it would be like a drivers license.
if you are full blown tinfoil hat either get tails os or cubes os, both spoof your mac address, and if you use tor network you will have a random ip. however it is slower than using the plain internet browser.

fun fact, ipv4 ran out of addresses maybe over a decade ago, so computers could share ip addresses, and things had to be handled in a certain way, with dhcp servers/routers using mac addresses preferably, so if two computers had the same mac address they would be treated as one and the same. ipv6, which is still in the process of phasing out ipv4, can have enough addresses for possibly every light bulb.
