Orbi RBR50 Device Limit
Hi Guys, In past I opened the Discussin about lossing my IoT devices on my network https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/IoT-connection-issues/m-p/2137256#M125630 Well, on that discussion...
The drawing shows two RBR50 routers. Are they connected, or are they separate systems with separate ISP connections?
The Wireshark capture showed only two DHCP packets. (In the upper left, enter dhcp in the display filter.
The router you're seeing is the same, one is the project floor and the other the building floors, my apartment, my mom apartment and my office and all the VMs, Homoassistant server, etc are in my office.
ok, but you saw any packet errors to the IPs i gave yo you?
Thank you
Thanks for the information. Would it be convenient to make a rough pencil drawing of
- How all the equipment is connected?
- Where the device running Wireshark is connected?
Wireshark has to be in 'promiscuous mode' to capture packets that are intended for other devices. This is often defeated by network switches which 'know' where certain MAC addresses can be found and send packets only to the switch ports that lead to those devices.
Going back to the first post:
"If I use fixed IP (on my laptop for example) I can connect and have internet, but I can't comunicate with other devices, por example NAS server! Btw the NAS Server is connected to another satellite!"
If devices are in the same IP subnet, they should be able to communicate. i.e. 192.168.1.x with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
