ORBI not properly associating static IP
Hello! I've been trying to use the Address Reservation feature under Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup. I have a PC that is hardwired (Ethernet, not wireless) to the RBS50 satellite (not the base RB...
I know this is an old thread but I was having the same problem with reserved addresses not getting assigned. I tried the "trick" of changing the DHCP addresses from x.x.x.21 to x.x.x.254 TO x.x.x.21 to x.x.x.100.
Restarted the devices that were not getting the addresses I wanted and it all worked. I had tried restarting the devices prior to changing the auto assigned addresses range and it did not work at that time. Only after changing the range of the auto addresses.
I know enough to know that should not change the addresses I wanted reserved. Nothing was assigned in the >100 range in the first place. All I know is it solved my problem.
Sure I could find something else that works. But I paid for something that should already work. If Netgear will refund my purchase then I'll gladly return their hw/sw.
It works for you. Bravo. It doesn't work for me. Nor for many others according to this post.
If your unit is newly bought, then return it.
It not, maybe post more details about your system and maybe we can help figure yoru problem out.
