Interesting...is that IP on the PC or the WAN interface of the router?
the external IP is assigned to the MAC address of the modem by DHCP - this cannot be turned off AFAIK. Also, from your example, the default router IP should be 192.168.1.1, and the cable modem should be 192.168.100.1.

No ping. Have not manually set DNS servers on PC. Don't really want to have to set these manually on each device that accesses the wireless network!
The 'global' IP (92.x.x.x) is the IP that gets assigned on the PC.
Yes, 192.168.1.1 was the router IP and cable modem 192.168.100.1
Should I change them to be on the same subnet mask -> i.e. make the router ip e.g. 192.168.100.2 - is that sensible or irrelevant?
Appreciate the help.. oddly I previously had an old ntl cable modem at a previous address and had no such issues connecting this same router
