Orbi RBR20 DHCP list order or Import/Export for modifying
Hi, So I have a RBR20 system with 3 satellites and the DHCP reservation is driving me crazy. I split IP addresses into blocks IE a family of smart devices will start at a different "10" to others...

Is there no way to sort the DHCP list by ascending order or IP or at the very least export the list?
As FURRYe38 pointed out, Orbi is one of the few (only?) Netgear routers that provides terminal access. From the Orbi "debug" page (http://orbilogin.net/debug.htm - login with the web credentials "admin" and password), check the box "Enable Telnet" toward the bottom of the page.
Use a telnet client that can capture the results. (I use PuTTY which has a "log" option to record all printable characters to a file. PuTTY is free for Windows & Linux (not Mac)
Telnet into the router with the usual admin credentials, and type this command:
nvram show | grep reservation*
This will dump out the IP reservation table (with a couple of other lines that include "reservation".
Paste the results into a file and sort. Alas, sorting is not "smart". i.e. 10, 11, 12, come after 1 and 2 comes after 19. 3 comes after 29, etc. Each line contains the MAC address and assigned IP address.
Hope this helps
