It's the IP address assigned to the modem, not the routable IP address assigned to the router for your devices to access the internet.
Not only does the modem get assigned a 10.x.x.x IP for diagnostics but Cox(and other ISP) uses the 10.x.x.x space for routing too. AKA you will see it in a tracert.
As for how to get a new IP address, what model router do you have? If the router has something called MAC cloning you can change your WAN MAC and then reboot the modem for a new public IP. If you have a Cox Panoramic gateway you are out of luck I think. The only way to change the IP is to get a whole new gateway.
