I didn't know that.  It's quite a 'high end' domestic router though, so
I'd have thought this wasn't the case. I will check.

Obviously static IPs are set up with DHCP temporarily disabled on the
router. Would it be the case that, as soon as you try to reconnect the
Touch to the network when DHCP has been re-enabled, that it would
default to a dynamic address? 

Knowing next to nothing about how things work, if a static device had
disconnected, and was being reconnected, I'd have expected the router to
'say': "OK, I know this MAC address, it should get this static IP
address." That just doesn't seem to be working consistently.

In that case, I'd have thought that once a MAC/static IP address had
been set up in the router, that it wouldn't matter whether you did a
factory reset of the Touch?

(As a 'ps' to this. I was trying to reconect a problem Touch via wifi
again yesterday. Several times, no success. There happens to be a
powerline ethernet cable right next to it. Popped that in, and it was
through to the network and LMS like greased lightning. )
