Devices are assigned strange IP addresses and fail to connect to wifi
Hi,
Occasionally, iPhones and iPads in my wifi network start getting strange IP addresses in the range 169.255.x.x or 169.254.x.x and fail to connect to wifi. These IP addresses belong to South Africa...
I found out the the issue was caused by my wired mesh speakers (connected to the Satellite). Once I disconnected those speakers (connected wirelessly now), all issues disappeared.
Do you have any wired Sonos connected to Orbi?
Ok, let us now how it goes.
