    Hello, is there an IP change in Connect Box from UPC ?? I did not find such an option in the router, although it was shown on a foreign YouTube video that it can be, but I do not have such a tab as BASIC in which there is WAN IP Renew ??

    Why do you want to change something for the WAN configuration? Probably it's blocked by UPC.

    What are you for? The modem is associated with the customer number you have on the contract. I have internet from UPC myself with this Connectbox to play it is tragic I do not recommend it. When I was behind with money, the router blocked me that I could not enter the settings.
    You can use a VPN or contact UPC via chat like I did.

    Mainly I mean changing IP, I have a blockade on some websites and I can enter without any problems from another IP, e.g. from a friend.

    If after restarting the router it does not change, you have a fixed public IP, which has advantages and disadvantages. You can connect via VPN and it will be different.

    As far as I know from users of UPC services, the IP address is dynamic, but changes are made by the service provider and very rarely.

    Router reset does not help the IP is the same.

    Then connect via VPN, eg Cyberghost, it will be different.

    As I wrote, your router reset has no effect on the allocation of the IP address.

    Sometimes it helps to permanently unplug your router for more than 48 hours (but this won't always work).
    Another more reliable method is to switch Compala to bridge mode and connect your own router - then the IP will change.

    You can still through Tor (but many sites block it).

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the inability to change the WAN IP address on the UPC Connect Box. Users express frustration over the lack of a "BASIC" tab for WAN IP renewal, as seen in a foreign YouTube video. Responses indicate that UPC may block such changes, and the IP address is typically dynamic but rarely changes without intervention from the service provider. Suggestions include using a VPN to bypass IP restrictions, resetting the router, or switching to bridge mode with a personal router to potentially change the IP address. Some users report that unplugging the router for an extended period may help, but results can vary.
