Will ISP see my router MAC address? connection by 4g USB modem

Question

I have router dwr-116 and usb 4G modem which is connected to this router.

Will ISP see dwr-116 mac address? or will ISP see only 4g modem IMEI ?

I think that ISP will see only 4g modem IMEI but maybe i'm wrong?

@Sirens, thanks for your answer. I need to know this because I think about buy 2nd hand router which could be used to different activities. — ared20, Commented Oct 12, 2017 at 10:33
your ISP will see your modem's ID, though, so it doesn't matter if they can or cannot see the router's MAC - everything is still tied to the modem — schroeder, Commented Oct 12, 2017 at 10:39

No. ISP cant see MAC address of your router. MAC is a layer 2 address which exist within the network only.

And yes, your ISP will see only the IMEI.
