Very interesting! Some kind of buggy DMZ type of thing, perhaps, where even the DHCP traffic flowed right on through... who knows.

That's about the only thing that makes any sense. Maybe it somehow faulted to route all traffic straight to the ONT, which could only give one address which I happened to get. And then the fiber got cut the very next day around the same time as we got the new router.

A lot of coincidences and extraordinary edge cases, but it's plausible I guess?
