Disconnecting your internet for 5–30 minutes may result in a new IP address, depending on your ISP’s DHCP lease policy. Some providers assign a new IP immediately, while others keep the same one for hours or days. Restarting your modem/router can help, but it’s not always guaranteed.

Disconnect your modem and router for at least 30 minutes to possibly get a new IP address. Some ISPs refresh dynamic IPs quickly, while others keep the same address for hours or days due to DHCP lease times. Overnight disconnection increases the chances, but results depend on your provider’s policy.

Unplugging your internet for 5–60 minutes may assign a new IP address if your ISP uses dynamic IP allocation. However, many providers reserve your current IP until the lease expires. Waiting several hours or overnight often improves the likelihood of receiving a different IP.

To get a new IP address, turn off and unplug your modem for at least 30 minutes. Some internet providers change the IP immediately after reconnection, while others maintain the same address. If it doesn’t change, you may need to wait longer or contact your ISP.

Most users need to disconnect their internet for 30 minutes to several hours to receive a new IP address. The exact time depends on your ISP’s DHCP lease settings. Restarting alone may not work, so fully power off the modem for better results.
