Orbi assigning 1 satellite out of range address
Router is set as DHCP server set for range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.254. There are 2 wired satellites. One is correctly assigned 10.0.0.3 but the other is assigned 192.168.1.250. All other devices ar...
Even though I had rebooted the Orbi router several times and had done a factory reset of the miss-addressed satellite several times over many hours of pulling my hair last night, this morning I reset the satellite one more time and it miraculously got a new address in the right range. I have no idea why. (I have Google Fiber and the modem is just a modem. The Orbi is the only router giving out addresses on my network.) I have seen this behavior one other time on my mesh where it took about 8 hours or so for the Orbi router to give the second wired backhaul satellite a proper address. This is using latest firmware V2.7.3.22. The other wired satellite gets assigned a correct address right away. They are not daisy chained. And the satellite getting the right address first is not always the same satellite.
