I'm using wireless router located in the other room not in my room.
If I change wireless router to new one, my IP address is changed too ?
I do not wanna change IP address. Is the way to replace new router without changing IP ?
I live in apartment and LAN cable of router is connected to wall.

if you want to use the same intra-net (home) ip address that your 'old' router is giving you, simply enter the new router web menu and reserve that ip address for your pc. (generally you can swap routers and it auto allocate the same basic intra-net ip address tree if youre the sole user of the router).

i cant tell you how to do it, every router will have a different interface for its settings menu. you would have to look for it yourself:
generally you may have to know your mac address and/or computer name beforehand (router dependent). also windows needs to know what ip address you want it to use, so you need to go into network settings and put your ip details there.

if you mean internet ip address, then thats something else...
