@etp@indieweb.social I *think* you've discovered MAC reservation, where router fixes IP based on hardware address of network device. 👍
Pihole will do it too, and may be easier to understand.
Suggestion to run a 2nd router is suboptimal (ie terrible idea). Results in double NAT, poor performance and connectivity issues guaranteed esp w VPN. You missed nothing there.
My own reply could have been clearer. 🤦 Mea culpa.

@samueljohnson@mstdn.social No culpas necessary. I'm not sure what I have discovered, only that the IP for the pi-hole survived a full-on power cut.
