Wondering if you can change your dynamic IP address? Your Shaw modem is assigned a dynamic IP address automatically, which we cannot change by request.
Points to consider
- While your IP address is dynamic, it is meant to stay the same for a long period of time, and may never change. Changes or maintenance to our network can result in having a new IP address assigned, but there is no set time for this to occur.
- Network device changes in your home, such as using Bridge Mode or IP Passthrough with a third party router, may also result in having a new IP address assigned.
- Shaw cannot manually change your IP address by request.

If you use a third party router in addition to your Shaw modem, you may experience complications with your Internet service. This is referred to as Double NAT (Network Address Translation).
