I have no way of finding out for sure i don't own a computer, just a ps4, smart tv hooked up to ps4 , and a phone i dont use wifi on. I ran some dns browser test that i barely understand one said o was blacklisted by 3 sites for possible botnet infection. One said i was using a public ip thats my unique machine ip. Basically like a super cookie. 34.xx.xxx.xx this is coming from lan but its my actual wan ip. If i run just the modem my ip is good a dynamic wan ip same range as usual 192.xxx.xx.xx. Its only when the router hooks up that it changes is this normal? If not do i get a new router? Also can i just run my modem without the router is safe security wise?

Your IP sounds fine.
What country are you in?

Usually the router has it's own firewall.
