Which I can not use. That modification to the ISP router will render it not working.

LOL. ChatGPT just said to me:

The IPv4 address ranges reserved for private local networks (defined in RFC 1918) are:

| Private range                     | CIDR notation    | Number of addresses | Common use                                      |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------: | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255**     | `10.0.0.0/8`     |          16,777,216 | Large enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure |
| **172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255**   | `172.16.0.0/12`  |           1,048,576 | Medium to large private networks                |
| **192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255** | `192.168.0.0/16` |              65,536 | Home routers and small office networks          |

It gives no link for this information, except citing RFC 1918
