Atypical IP address assigned
I've been using the Netgear Nighthawk C7000 router about a year or so - works great. We recently got our daughter an iPhone 6S and I notice that the router frequently shows an atypical IP address fo...
Regarding the atypical address being associated with an IP provider being used on the phone -
I thought of something like that.
But my daughter is 14 and does not pay for any internet service on that phone.
She only has internet service (or so I thought) when connected to a wifi sources (such as our home router or her school's network).
Also, my wife's iPhone (a business phone with unlimited data) connects to our router like any other device and gets a standard IP address assigned by router, it does not get an IP address for her company's IP provider.
We have had many visitors to our house and the router allways assignes a 198.... IP address to their devices when they connect to our router.
I have never seen an apparently 'external' IP address displayed on our home network.
Any other possibilities to explain this?

In looking at the router logs I see many entries like those listed below assoicated with this atypical IP address.
Does anyone know what this means and if I should be concerned?
