ARP table changes - ORBI RBR40 and three sattelites
RBR40 and three sattelites Firmware V2.5.1.16 2-6 times per day I see the following change in the ARP table IP:192.168.1.250, Old MAC: ??-??-??-??-??-18, New MAC: ??-??-??-??-??-90 The ??-18 MAC ...
Where are you seeing this report?
- In the Orbi log file?
- On a computer?

Well, this is indeed a puzzle. 192.168.1.250 does not respond to ICMP on my network (one Orbi router, one satellite).
When I attempt to ping it, the ARP requests are never answered.
192.168.1.250 is known to be an IP address that Netgear uses for configuring networking gear, primarily WiFi extenders. (Google search)
I got nothin.
The distance between the main router and the sattelite that is being swapped in the arp table is +-31 feet way with no walls in the way.
When I ping 192.168.1.250 I get no response from 192.168.1.250 but then 192.168.1.59 responds which is one of the three Sattelites and not the main router(RBR40). see below
