DHCP not working properly, log filling with DHCP assignments
So I have noticed that after rebooting, sometimes DHCP doesn't work properly. No devices that use DHCP, whether they have a DHCP reservation or not, get DHCP assigned IP addresses. Whenever this prob...
I see this one switch as green ethernet:

As mentioned before I believe, Orbi systems don't seem to get along with anything with Green Ethernet:

I would remove ALL switches from the ORbi system temporarilty and see the problem continues.

I have three switches, they are all TrendNet unmanaged switches. Two are model number TEG-S82g H/W:V2.0R, the other is model number TEG-S80g H/W:V2.1R
Only one of the TEG-S82g switches is actually in use at the moment. All three of them are 1GB/100MB/10MB capable.
I have intentionally left my setup as is, with no configuration changes, and it has been stable for almost a week. To me, this proves that the "green" switches have nothing to do with this issue, and that any issue is related to DHCP being re-initialized and there being a chance that when it is re-initialized, it has a chance of starting up in an unstable state. By not making any configuration changes, and seeing my Orbi system remain stable the entire time, I think I have proven that the TrendNet switches are highly unlikely to be related to any issue.
