My wireless printer lets me change it's IP-address via it's touchscreen. No need for any software. Doesn't yours? Then check the user manual on how to do it.
My smartphone gets its IP-address from the router, when I activate WiFi on it. No need to change that.

Maybe tell more?

Changing your IP address is not say, VPN. And if you change your IP address how will web sites and more know where you are. So you're back to where you started if your goal was to hide.

Tell more what made you ask.

You can "release" your current IP in the router and then "request a new ip" and sometimes it works. Otherwise you do the release, turn off the router for a few hours such as overnight and then back on and maybe have a new IP from your provider. Dialup services assign a new IP everytime you hang up and then call back again. Netzero and Juno also have 800 number routers which can be used to appear in another area of the US if desired by calling them instead.

Simply turn off or unplug your modem for about five minutes. In many cases this alone will change your IP address when you go back online.
