I just turned the router off and on again and the IP is the same :$

My ISP assigns me the same IP address for months at a time before changing it seemingly at random. Without knowing how long you’ve had that IP address and how long the linked site keeps data for, it’s not really meaningful information.

Your IP is assigned on rotation by your upstream ISP, your router doesn't get to pick when the address changes unless you contact them and ask to have it changed.
