Address reservation table not working
Hello I have 20 address reservations for my ORBI. I recently changed the DHCP end IP address from 0.254 to 0.200. Now my address reservation table is not working. All of the MAC ID's from the tab...
Please set the IP address default pool range to .100 to .200 or change back to default DHCP pool range, then try IP address reservations.
What model# Orbi system do you have?
Firmware version loaded?
It is an RBR50
The pool range is set from 0.50 to 0.200. Sorry - what are you suggesting I change it to ?
I cannot extend it back to the default of 0.50 to 0.254, I have another router on the network which needs to use DHCP range of 0.201 to 0.254

When devices broadcast a DHCP request, they accept the first DHCP server that responds. If that server has no reservation for the MAC address, it will return a random IP from its "pool".
Having two DHCP servers on the same LAN is a recipe for disaster.
You have two routers on the same network? This would not be recommended.
You could change it to .100 to .200

Ahh, but they are physically different devices. I have an ORBI network, which is hard wired to a TP link extender. I wanted all devices that are connected to the Extender to receive an IP address. Is the extender assigning IPs to devices that are connected directly to the ORBI router? These devices are not connecting to the TP link extender
Seems like you may want to use the Orbi in AP mode if you want devices to get IP addresses from something else.
