Change modem IP address

[news]

[wireless]

I currently have the telus fibre 150 set up, with a T3200m router and a nokia modem(?). I have tried releasing and renewing the IP address through 192.168.1.254, as well as leaving my modem (the nokia one?) off over night. Telus customer services also recommended I preform a factory reset on my router, but its the modem that needs to be reset if I'm not mistaken. My question is basically:

1. How can I change my IP address efficiently?
2. Can I release the IP address without renewing, allowing for some time to pass before renewing?

Thanks!
