Q: Why is apple tv (4th Gen) using different comcast subnet

I need to understand if their is anything special/different regaurding how ATV (4th Gen) does DNS resolution when hardwired to a Comcast cable modem only (no wifi, and no router)?  I am noticing that my ATV selects a different subnet when ATV is set to automaticly resolve IP and DNS!  Example my Dell tower PC and Sony laptop automaticly use a subnet of 255.255.255.0, but ATV uses the example below:

 

67.166.208.26

255.255.252.0

router 67.166.208.1

 

ATV is working great just need to know why to resolve unrelated network issues in my home and home office network?

AppleTV 2, Windows 10
