Networking and servers • Pi5 eth0 receiving external (Read Wan IP) address when router restarts

Good Morning.
Pi5 connected to Sky Router SR203 on fibre FTTP.
If the router restarts as they do the Pi becomes unresponsive pull cable (Ethernet) out and then reinsert and all is wonderful in the world.
That did not happen before so i investigated with new cables, Router (thank you Sky), and finally diagnostics. Yes i work backwards!
The Router runs DHCP but when restarts provides the Pi with the external IP.
fix the issue but alas i should not be having to do this.

I am on the latest bootloader 23 sep 1727096576 and kernel 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-2712.
Powering the Pi from the official Power supply.

Any Ideas
