DHCP requests not logged consistently
My Orbi log files will show "DHCP IP" entries sometimes, and not other times. If I reboot my RBR50, then "DHCP IP" requests are logged, reboot again and they are NOT logged, reboot again and it star...
Another observation is that when it is not logged DHCP IP requests, if I go to the Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup page and click Apply (without changing anything), the RBR50 appears to reset the DHCP server. This process takes almost 2 minutes, and it is not a reboot of the system since uptime (seen on the debug.htm page) shows it was not rebooted. Going back to viewing the logs, DHCP IP is again being logged.
So the I repeat this process, and go to the LAN Setup page again and click Apply without changing anything. After almost 2 minutes, the system web page is back, so I then check the logs and DHCP IP is still being logged. Hmm.
So then I go to the Advanced Home page and click the Reboot button. After about 3 minutes the router is back up, I log in and check the logs and DHCP IP is no longer being logged.
Anyone else able to duplicate this?
