... if your ISP-provided public IP address ever goes away, all of your RFC1918 addresses on the homenet also go away.
<bhs> Not in any router I’ve ever had a hand in specifying or procuring! And not true of my Netgear router, or any of my older Linksys routers. Or OpenWRT loaded routers. My RFC1918 addresses absolutely stay put. I just can’t access the Internet (through that broadband connection) when my ISP-provided public IP address goes away. I’m not aware of any router that loses its RFC1918 addresses when the WAN goes down.
