Issue with Static DHCP assignment (2.1.2.18)
Bug? Scenario: A network device has already been on the network and given an IP address by Orbi DHCP. You assign a static IP (in order to group similar items) which is outside the range of the DHC...
I have seen this behavior, too. In my case I simply let the ORBI resolve the conflict itself. Meaning, I assigned a static IP address to a device that was originally getting a random DHCP address. After the static assignment, the ORBI still showed the old DHCP address to the device. After allowing the ORBI to "settle down" about 15 minutes, I noted it began reporting the correct static IP address for the device. No reboot required. I believe the bug is in the ORBI GUI home page display. It appears to not update all the data in the graphical display of attached devices very often.
This should be fixed in next updated. We hope.
