HI, I have an ORBI RBR850 it doesn't seen to be assigning IP addresses to wired devices.
My RBR850 is not allowing wired devices on my network to be assigned IP addresses. My router is configured with 15 mac addresses that get static IP addresses, most of these are wired, TV, Amp, DV...
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.

My router is configured with 15 mac addresses that get static IP addresses, most of these are wired, TV, Amp, DVD etc, they are all connected to a netgear switch, which connects to a CISCO SG100-16 switch which connects to the ORBI, IP range is from 192.168.2.4 to 192.168.2.99 for these devices. I have tried to connect just the TV directly to the ORBI but still no luck with an IP assignment. I have also taken the TV off DHCP and assigned a static IP (Same as what the router should have assigned) but still no access to the internet. When I connect the the TV to the wireless network it connects but i doesn't get the reserved address, 2.9. Interestingly my laptop does get its reserved address.......2.30? but I can't ping it from another PC, actuall I can't ping anything within the address reservation table?
DHCP range is 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200
Rebooting the router doesn't help.
I have no idea what is going on here, I haven't done a factory reset but its next on the list. I thought I post here first before starting from scratch.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before?
I should add this all happened suddenly, It was working when I went to bed, woke up in the AM and it wasn't :)
I have connected both the TV and a server directly to the ORBI, no assignment of IP addresses occured.
Thanks for the link to the other AX community, I'll post there. And thanks for your help
I also attached the log file.

Very strange. The Orbi seems to be assigning IP's both to devices in the "assigned" group (6,30) and in the DHCP group (102,106,110,111,112,150,151). What could be different about the TV and the server?
They are both configured to use DHCP for the ethernet connection?
Cables have been swapped "just in case"?
unlike "things that are portable", it is not practical to move them to another network and see if they connect there.
I have kept several older routers in a box for experiments. I plug one into the Orbi and then connect things to it for tests. The subnet would be different, but something connected to one of these routers should get an IP through DHCP.
2.6 is a canon printer in the office, its wired and configured with the 2.6 IP internally, I only added it to the reservations so I knew what it was. 2.30 is a wireless conection to my laptop.
I might take the server off DHCP and see if it connects. When I did this to the TV it still didn't have internet access.
And I'll move this to the other community..............
Just checked my router is a AX6000
Thanks
