you're getting FAR too hung up on MAC addresses. Ignore them, they're the proverbial red herring.....

Your modem will register itself (or provision itself, whatever) to one MAC address at a time only. At the moment it is provisioned to the MAC address of the router, if you change the setup (ie connect a different router or connect directly to a PC) it will stop working because it is still looking for the MAC address of the router.

That's all that matters.
