Ethernet backhaul - some satellites connected via ethernet, some not
Having challenges covering entire house - lots of double walls with sheer panels and stucco. I have an Orbi RBR50 with 2 Orbi RBS50 satellites connected wirelesly. I have moved RBR50 to differen...
Thanks. Any suggestions on setting up the IP address for each satellite? I see the IP address in the Orbi mobile app, but not sure how to set it static when there are over 26 devices connected to the network. Thanks again
I would do this, set the default IP address range to 192.168.1.100 thru .200. Then add IP address reservations for the RBS first. Save setting. Then add IP address reservations if needed for other devices. I recommend for devices that don't need much or any router management, set a static IP address ON the devices thats outside the new IP address pool on the RBR. Devices like, NAS, controllers, printers and maybe some cameras, etc. Either side of the pool is good for static IP addressed devices. You need to do this thru the routers web page with a browser and PC or laptop.
