My router is a Linux PC. It is connected directly to the cable modem. So I know which addresses the router has: >ip addr show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group defaul t qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp1s10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:d0:b7:3f:3f:d7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 73.37.165.179/23 brd 255.255.255.255 scope global enp1s10 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 2001:558:6014:3e:a038:4872:4d66:a81/128 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::2d0:b7ff:fe3f:3fd7/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: enp0s7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:23:54:f9:4c:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.42.2/24 brd 192.168.42.255 scope global enp0s7 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 2601:444:47f:c71e::1/64 scope global valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::223:54ff:fef9:4cc1/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Can a cable modem have multiple addresses? I wouldn't think so as it should just be a bridge.
