DHCP issues Orbi
I can't understand why this isn't working.. In my orbi router as AP mode I set the IP to 192.168.1.2... I have ran this command and a phantom IP is appearing config get ap_dhcp_ipaddr 192.168.1.214 ...
The IP address pool is 192.168.1.30-254 the optimum router doesn’t see anything on 192.168.1.2. I notice that if I reboot the whole system. The satellites all stay on up 192.168.1.250. If I access that website in a browser it’s random which satellite it connects to. Meaning it’s like flip flopping between them.
Thanks for clarifying the DHCP pool. Does the router have a mechanism to assign IP addresses to specific devices? (Rather than set static IP's in my "permanent" devices, I use the Orbi LAN Setup page to give each of them a specific IP address.) If your router has a similar feature, maybe you could enter the MAC address of the Orbi router and satellites and assign IP addresses to them.
