I need to change my IP address and protect it so no one can change it. I have disconnected the router from my computer and Shaw cable is my service provider. My daughter has a laptop she also uses the wireless connection. Can anyone help so I can have a secure IP address that can't be compromised??

I am not that much clear whether you can change your Ip adress, but any queries regarding Ip-detais can be solved here, http://www.ip-details.com/
Contact service provider
To change the IP address of the router, you will need to open the setup page of the router.
On this page uner LAN settings you will see the Local Ip address of the router.
you can change the IP address of the router here.
Make sure that you will use only private IP address.
Let's take an example. If the current IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1.
Then you can change the IP address of the router to 192.168.x.y. where the X and Y will be 0 to 254.
Is there any computer connected to the router ?
If not then you will need to connect the computer to the router.
Do not change any wireless settings on the router with the wireless computer.
you will need to connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
check the IP address of the computer.
open the router set up page of the router.
Here you can change the wireless settings of the router.
Now once you change the network anme and security on the router, you will need to connect to the wireless network on your wireless computers.

I don't think that it is a problem with your IP address settings.
I would disable all security temporarily, just to see if that makes a difference.
If you are using Windows Vista, take a look at this post and see if that could be one of the underlying problems.
If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.
"Static IP addressing is for one customer on one IP address and
Dynamic IP addressing assigns a different IP address each time the ISP
customer logs on to their computer, but this is dependent upon the
Internet Service Provider (ISP) because some ISP's only change the IP
address as they deem it necessary.
If you have Dynamic IP Addressing through your Website Host it means
that you are sharing an IP Address with several other customers.
If you are a beginner on the internet, an avid internet user, are
entertaining the thought of starting your own website business, are a
gamer, use VOIP or VPN there are several things you should know about IP
Addressing."
