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.
