Question about IP Routed Subnet on Sky FTTP

Hi, I use a third party router with my Sky FTTP.  A Draytek 2765 which works perfectly  However one thing I have noticed from its screens is that DHCP on the IP Routed Subset is active.  As Sky doesn't provide public routable IP addresses for its customer's devices I am not certain what this is for.  By the way 90.207.238.97 beongs to Sky.  I have attached for images to illustrate.  Would appreciate any thoughts.  Thanks

Sky have previously posted that they don't allow IP or Mac addresses, telephone numbers/SSID's on posts.

@No2ID as pointed out your images have been refused as they contain details which identify you or your devices.

 

You. are free to use whatever router you wish but pretty obviously your routing will be via the Sky server managing your connection and assigning your connection a single IP4 address from their pool.. Dratek routers are fairly complex and are mainly designed for business operation where there maybe multiple IP addresses so I suspect you are seeing.

@Daniel0210 The IP addresses were local LAN 192.168 addresses so do not identity me.  And rubbed out the MAC addresses.  But clearly their AI can't make that distinction =!
