You're not thinking that this will give you a new IP for signups on websites are you? Because it won't!

Why would it not? As long as it generates a new IP - you are good to go. Now, on the back end, the "new" IP that generates is time stamped with your info. So, in theory, if someone wants to come "after" you, there is a large footprint. But, if you just want to access a site multiple times, this will work.

Because it gives you an IP for your home network, not for your internet connection which would stay the same, unless you have dynamic IP addresses with your service provider, which even then probably is only just a few and would be very similar. You still couldn't sign up to, for example, wordpress multiple times by just changing your IP on your home network, could you?

You can have an infinite amount. What your router is doing is changing it's MAC address and there fore changing your IP. I have done this over 50 times in one day, and never repeated the same IP.
