One (Echo Dot) out of 30 devices lost it's DHCP lease, rebooting the router (DHCP server) forces all devices, including the Dot to renew their lease.
Renewing the lease of the devices that have active leases is transparent, but the one that doesn't have a stable lease magically gets picked back up. Kind of like shooting a mosquito with a shotgun, only one pellet gets the mosquito, but the rest of them take out the whole wall.
