Thats were I have some of my devices, ATV, printers, NAS and such. I reserve IPs for iphones and all my other devices that need some form of router management and internet access.

Once I had the ethernet backhaul sorted (The trouble was there was a switch between the Orbi Router and Satelitte with other devices on too. I moved the LAN so it was between the two Orbi units and have the in one of the other LAN on the Satelitte, Now running smooth for 3 days and no further issues.
But what I would like to do now is, Increase the DHCP lease time, The Orbi logs are just bombarded with DCHP notifications.
I can not see anything in the settings yet for this. But it looks like the setting is 1 hour at the moment.
I see no reason to use DHCP unless a particular device requires it. DHCP is for guests on my guest network and my few devices which don’t support static addresses. It’s an extra level of unneeded complexity and only adds another point of failure.
