    It sounds like it's an issue of using the ISP's equipment, which is a modem/router combined device.  @5263P3 has some very good points, look for the MAC addresses and check them in a MAC address lookup which you can find anywhere on the web.  See what the manufacturer is and look through your devices to match that up.
    If you need help with this, please provide some screenshots (sans any personal information) and we'll do what we can to assist you.
