That is down to the ISP.
Unless your unnamed ISP allocates you a fixed or static IP address, which isn't usual, this may or may not change.
The modem picks up the IP address. Your router than uses that. You should not need to mess around with that address.
One thing to remember, you have to start the network in the correct order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
This ensures that the modem gets the WAN AP address before the router starts looking for it.
As above, could you explain more about why you did a reset and what IP you're expecting to change? If you're referring to your public IP that is nothing to do with the router. The XR and modem will have a different IP you access them on, that is normal. How are you determining QoS isn't working exactly?

Because I had problems with my internet, and the IP shouldn't be the same if I changed modem 3 times, I am talking about WAN IP of the router. By doing speeds tests with QoS on Always. Also after hard reset, I still had all the settings, nothing changed
