Just replaced a failed SB3 with a Touch, and was surprised that Touch
doesn't support assigning an IP address, when the SB3 still does.
Independent of what is "right", why remove functionality, that some
users do use?

As for why? My network monitoring software reports traffic associated
by IP address, so it's nice to have them all stay the same. Yes, can do
it in the router, but why should I have to when the product used to
support it?
