The tech at my parent's house didn't force static IPs, but he did seem to be
confused by a hub with a dedicated uplink port (e.g. not autosensing), which
left a portion of the network non-functional until I could get over there.

I had the opposite experience. The signal from the box was much better than
the linksys router that it replaces.
