I try connect routher via phone adapter and bypass phone adapter (direcly to DSL modem, i.e. taking phone adapter off) I got two different IPs from myIPaddress.com.

This could be because you have get dynamic IP with DHCP. A possible scenario:

First the phone adapter gets an IP from your ISPs DHCP server.

When you disconnect the phone adapter, the D-Link router needs an IP from the DHCP server. Since the D-Link router has a different MAC address it will get a different IP address.

Depending on the DHCP servers config you may get a new IP address every now and then even if you don't change your setup.

With a dynamic IP you simply need to accept that your IP may change at any time and that it is likely to change whenever you change your setup or tur off the router or phone adapter (wichever connects to the DSL modem).

If this is a problem, you could use a dynamic DNS service to get a fixed host name even though you have a dynamic IP.


Please note that I don't know if the above scenario is applicable to your situation.
