Hello, I have some problems with my router, one of them I tried 30-30-30 factory reset and it wasn t working, another one is that I get same ip address all the time, even I restart the modem, change with another modem, also in xfinity modem setting ip address is different, and sometimes the qos not working even if is on always

Why did you try that reset? (It is not advised on gaming routers.) What wasn't working?
another one is that I get same ip address all the time, even I restart the modem, change with another modem, also in xfinity modem setting ip address is different, and sometimes the qos not working even if is on always
What gets the same IP address? Why is it a problem?
A router usually has the same IP address because that's the way it works.
What is the modem in front of this router?
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
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
I am done trying to fix it, maybe it is not a problem but is a placebo effect which make me nervous. I tried restart, hard restart modem, router and all the time I get same gateway ip address and also ip address only on router, and it is different from the one the modem have.
If you have any suggestions I will be so happy to follow.

I still don't understand what the problem is.
Yes, you will get the same IP address on the router every time. That is the idea. Likewise the modem/gateway.
Rather than worrying about IP addresses, why not explain what the underlying problem is that you are trying to fix?
Why are you messing around with IP addresses?
You will get an Internet IP address from your ISP when you make a connection. That stakes your claim to a place on the Internet. It is likely to change from time to time, depending on how your ISP runs things.
When you connect to the Internet with a modem/gateway, it will give itself a local IP address. That is usually fixed by the modem maker. Different brands have different choices although they all follow the same conventions. (Look in the manual for your device to see which it uses.) If the modem is just that, a modem, and nothing else, you can forget about that for most purposes. It isn't something that you need to worry about.
Then, when you have that modem/gateway connection and you turn on the router and connect to the ISP, it will see what the modem/gateway has done in the way of setting an IP addresses and will give pick its own IP address. Again, that it down to how they designed the router. But it will always be the sane IP address. Often this will be 192.168.1.1 but here are other options. (Again, look in the manual for your device to see which it uses.) That's what the XR500 picks by default.
This is the address that you can get at with a browser to control how the router manages your network.
After that, the router hands out local IP addresses for the things on your network.
So, which IP address is it that you are desperately trying to change?
Is there any reason why you have not answered the question from @Netduma-Liam ?
What is the make and model of the modem you're using?
By modem, they mean modem/gateway. (It used to be that "gateway" was limited to modem/router that also handled voice connections, but these days it seems to take in any modem that also does router functions.) If that is the IP address you want to change, why?
If you're using pure modems the WAN IP of the router which would be the public IP would not necessarily change. It is very unlikely you have any IP conflicts in which case the IPs would not affect your connection.

Until you come to a time when you want to access the graphical user interface (GUI) of the modem, to update firmware for example. To get to that you probably have to disconnect from the router and go straight into the modem. That's why I rarely mess with my DM200 modems.

That's the whole point, in a sentence.
Which is why it is puzzling that @Laryke is playing around with IP addresses.
First describe a problem you need to fix. (Forget about IP addresses.) What is going wrong?
Then people can offer solutions. They are unlikely to have anything to do with changing IP addresses.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Would be helpful to know this.
If the ISP modem has a built in router and also uses 192.168.1.1, the the XR router will change it's own IP address of 192.168.1.1 to avoid the conflic with the modems LAN IP address. XR will probably change to a 10.something string. This is OK as well. You can also change the modems LAN IP address string to someting different if you want the XR to use default IP address of 192.168.1.1.
