i have a question, I recently switched internet services. From spectrum to att. When I used the spectrum modem it was easy to use my third party router to change my mac address and therefore my public ip address. however now when i try to change my mac address with att what happens is the modem just changes the ip address of my router when i change the mac address. My public IP address stays the same. Why? What is going on here? Please help

Router and modem issue

your service provider will either set you up with a static IP address (never changes) or a dynamic one that could change whenever the modem is rebooted.
do you know what your plan has, static or dynamic?
unless you use a VPN service, your public IP is determined by your provider and you cannot change it by mucking around the internals of your modem/router.
that's my understanding at least.
