Unable to Get WAN IP from ISP

My Prestige can not get an IP address from the ISP to connect to the Internet, what can I do?
Currently, there are various ways that ISPs control their users. That is, the WAN IP is provided only when
the user is checked as an authorized user. The ISPs currently use three ways:
1. Check if the 'MAC address' is valid
2. Check if the 'Host Name' is valid, e.g., @home
3. Check if the 'User ID' is valid, e.g., RR-Toshiba Authentication Service, RR-Manager
Authentication Service
If you are not able to get the Internet IP from the ISP, check which authentication method your ISP uses
and troubleshoot the problem as described below.
