Does swapping SIM's (3 to Vodafone) mess up settings?

Hi I can't work out if this is a stupid question or not but I currently have a Scancom 3 sim in my Deco X50-5G and have just ordered via Lebara a Vodafone sim just to have as back up and to try out but if I put this new sim in will it mean it changes everything on my network, new ip addresses etc or does everything stay the same and it's the router giving the ip addresses?.
Been searching on Google for an answer thought I'd ask here, thanks.

Your internal network will stay the same as long as devices that have a need for a static IP have one set.

If you haven't set a static IP, liklihood is you don't need one.

Received the Lebara SIM today, popped it into the router and can confirm everything stayed exactly the same (apart from obviously new Vodafone IP address).
Am actually getting a much better signal strength than with 3 and better speed, might try a EE one as well seeing how easy it is to swap between them, thanks again for the advice.
 
One thing with Lebara SIMs is that they usually come with a Vodafone APN configured, which works in the UK but doesn't work for roaming. So if you plan to use Lebara outside the UK take a few moments to configure the Lebara UK specific APN.
