I'm sort of pausing on that. I set up OpenDNS to provide the DHCP addresses, and that required me to set my Win11 PC's Private Network manually. I think that is why I'm getting the message from my router: "Your router's DHCP server is configured to provide a DNS server that's different from your...

oddly, running from W11 ping -a to Win10 PC times out. from W10 to W11 returns instantly with 4 sent, 0 received, 4 lost packet loss. What's the -a do? Waiting few minutes changes nothing.
