My IP changes every few minutes. Is this normal? Is this due to PPPoE?

Is PPPoE the right internet connection type in router setting?

Does your IP changes automatically?
PPPoE is the right setting. The IP will change but it should be days weeks before it changes so definitely something is not right.
I had a similar prob earlier this year. My symptoms were:
- Internet will be non-responsive then...
- Router disconnects and reconnects to unifi
- IP address changes after reconnect
- Happens at certain times of the day (for me mostly evenings but quite unpredictable, morning/afternoon also got)
- It'll dis/reconnect like 20 times in 10 minutes
- It'll do that then it'll be ok for a few hours and then start again
- Phone line still works OK when the above problem occurs
In my case, it wasn't the modem or the router. Still using the same devices. Made a report to TM. No-one from TM came to check so I assume TM did something on their side. On the 2nd or 3rd week, everything was back to normal up to now.
Can you check your router logs for PPPoE disconnection? In my report to TM, I sent them my router logs where (after I turn on PPPoE debug), I can see keepalive packets from TM every 20 secs. Then it stops and disconnects.
It looks something like this during normal operation. I can't seem to find the screenshot I did for TM anymore.
