Hub 3 in Modem mode with a Deco x20. Can I change my public IP?

Somebody on Xbox got hold of my IP and is causing continuous issues with my connection.

Is there a way for me to change my public IP? Can I contact VM for this or is it something I can do within the Deco app? I saw something about MAC cloning in the settings but don't want to mess about with things I'm not sure on.

Thanks.

    Set the MAC address in the 'MAC cloning' to a digit/character different to what it is now, reboot the HUB, and you'll get a different Public IP address.

      Thanks for the swift reply. Does it matter which digit I change, first or last etc? Should I be changing by just one digit/letter, ie a-b 1-2...

      Thanks

        It doesn't matter.

        Change anything to anything and the Public IP will be different.

        Just make a note of the original MAC just in case.
