Resetting your modem rarely changes your IP assuming the same kit (computer / router) is connected to it. If you change the kit, or even the mac address directly connected to the router the IP may well change. The IP allocated has a certain lease so if you left the modem off for some time that IP lease might expire so you might get a different one when starting again. Other than that it would be a VM network change.

In practice for most people the VM dynamic IP is almost static.
