Nope, changing your IP address won’t make your internet faster. It’s a common misconception. Your speed is determined by your ISP and the quality of your connection. If you’re getting random lag spikes, it’s likely due to interference or an overloaded network.

Try using a wired connection or upgrading your router. If you’re still having issues, contact your ISP. They might be throttling your connection, and changing your IP could help in that specific case, but it’s not a universal fix.
Changing your IP address doesn’t directly affect internet speed. It’s more about how your ISP manages traffic. If you’re dealing with lag spikes, it could be due to network congestion or a weak Wi-Fi signal.

Try resetting your router or using a tool like NetSpot to optimize your Wi-Fi setup. If you’re still curious about changing your IP, you can use a VPN, but it might slow you down due to encryption overhead.
