Thanks for that - I'll have a look into it and see.

Yeah, so I believe it creates a virtual MAC address which then gets assigned a new IP. That reports as static as if something other than the router is setting it. I have tried assigning that virtual MAC a different IP based on the router DHCP but it seemed to not get taken as if something else...

Ah you have just nailed it - that is exactly what is set up. I naively set it up ages ago without giving the devices static IPs. Thanks so much, I will clean those up!
