Another way to think about it is:
A device says "this IS my IP address router" STATIC
Versus: "What is my IP address router?" DHCP
Do I need Static IP Address?

Re: Do I need Static IP Address?
thanks to all for the assistance. I got the issue corrected. When I got home this evening I checked my external IP and it did NOT change. Next step I set an address reservation for the RA as .7 which is what I used during wifi setup. That still didn't correct the issue. So I checked the RA port and it was closed. I did the port fwding in my router setup and that corrected the issue. I guess the port closed during the power outage.
