Hello,

It has nothing to do with NAT on the router.

NAT allows multiple devices to use one public IP address. If you have 3 devices that need a IP and you have 3 IPs, you dont need NAT.

 

The modem can give up to 3 IPs to the devices connected directly to it (i.e. a router, an IP phone, etc).

You recieve 3 IPs I suppose because you have this agreement with your ISP right?

 

I might be wrong tho, I don't exactly know all the technical details, but I only know it helped solving my problem.

If you changed your MAC address and it works, that means that somewhere over the internet someone's MAC address is registered to recieve that IP.

You mentioned your ISP told you that your IP changes every 3 months: Do you have a static IP or a dynamic IP?
