ORBI RBR50 not honoring reserved IP addresses
ORBI RBR 50 running 2.3.5.30 I have configured a reserved IP for my Raspberry Pi which is a server, but every reboot, the IP address of the raspberry pi changes the mac address isn't the prob...
Reserved on the Orbi or on the Pi?
I need to give the raspberry pi a reserved address
One of my Raspberry Pi's was changing MAC addresses on the WiFi adapter every time it rebooted. Turns out there is a "feature" built into one of the Pi networking apps to "randomise" the MAC address. I Googled the heck out of this and eventually found a method to force the Pi to "stop this dammit". (I later decided that loading whatever software package did this was a mistake, so I downloaded a fresh copy of Pi, burned it to an SD Card, and now my Pi no longer randomizes the MAC address..)
Assigned IP's on the Orbi are by MAC address. When your Pi has a new IP, does it still have the same IP as before?
Yes, it keeps the same public IP, only the private IP changes.
Which raspberry pi and what OS did this occur on in your instance?
