Check the router’s web interface to see what the WAN IP is, then compare that to what you see if you use on of the what is my IP services.
Most mobile broadband providers don’t provide you with a publicly accessible IP address, but use either CGNAT or private IP space. If you’re not sure about yours, post the first two sets of numbers (eg 100.64.x.y) and we can tell you.

I moved the HA under ISP router, but the Tasmota device was under other router, that is behind the switch. Tried to change the SSID and pass, but it does not connect to the ISP router. Had to flash it to try again, but no success. It just does not connect to this router. Both wifi networks have WPA2. Will try one more time flashing it.
Is there a way, I could get my own router to work in a way, that it is the same network as the ISP router, but has separate SSID and pass?
Connected with cable like this: ISP router - 16 port switch - my router
Can not remember what and how I did it, it was 3 weeks ago. Try to get the NodeMCU in the network, to give more details.
Yes. You use your router as an access point and switch, not as a router. A router routes traffic between networks. You have 2 disparate networks and are trying to figure out why things don’t work. They don’t work because you have 2 disparate networks.
On some routers, you can enable ‘AP’ mode which usually will turn the routing functions off. If your router doesn’t support that, it’s pretty easy to handle.
Disable DHCP on it
Set the INTERNAL IP of the router to one on the network you want to use (make sure it doesn’t conflict with any other device on the network)
Plug a cable into your LAN port on the main router or switch, to a LAN port on your “AP” router, not the WAN port.
Got it up and running! The AP (my “router” ) changed the IP addresses itself after some time, after switching off the DHCP server.
Got the tasmota device also working, and sending data to HA with MQTT. I have a car parking sensor connected to NodeMCU and sending distance information to HA. Found how to display gauge make it update as often I need.
I think we can call this topic finished and all 4 problems solved! Thank You hor help!
Should I make my next steps and ask support under this topic, or create separate posts? My 4 issues got answers. But here it is easy to follow up what is set up already and what I have done in the past…
