ESP based device keeps stealing IP and Orbi lets it
I have a few outlet control devices based on the ESP8266 wifi chips.
One of them 02:0F:B5:1F:39:8D keeps taking 10.1.1.2 according to the Orbi.
The Orbi DHCP server is supposed to assign it 1...
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance?
What IP address pool range size are you using on the Orbi router? From and To?
What FW is currently loaded? V2.2.1.210
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? What does the ISP modem have to do with anything, it is another network?
What IP address pool range size are you using on the Orbi router? From and To? 10.1.1.20-10.1.1.254
Is this device set up for a static IP address ON the device or automatic IP addressing?
Do have a IP address reservation ON the Orbi for this device?
Having a router built in to the modem can cause problems.
What happens if you set the Orbi to 10.1.1.2 thru .254, does this device still take the same IP address or a different one?
Thanks for replying, but I believe that this information is covered in the initial post. The gateway after the Orbi has no direct connection to this network as the Orbi is setup as the router for this network. However, I see what you are saying. It could be a rogue DHCP server, but I have yet to find it.
