       _Someone_ has.  It could be your ISP; it could be your building
    management. I would expect an address like "192.168.0.x" to come from
    some (small-scale) local router, not from an ISP.

       It may not be the last.  Especially if you don't deal directly with
    an ISP.  (Or if your ISP uses CGN.)

       You could go back to that kid of arrangement, but there are
    disadvantages that way, too.  For example, your devices would then be on
    the same LAN subnet as those of any other user who also uses that same
    invisible router which is somewhere beyond your wall,  Potentially,
    everyone in the building.
