ORBI Router automatically switching back and forth between 2 MAC Addresses
Why does the Orbi router swith back and forth between MAC Addresses? These dates and time seem to co-incide with a drop in Internet access. Lastest Firm: as of 4/4/2020 Orbi Router and 3 sateli...

4/8/2020 03:56:55 arp ChangeFilter: MAC address for IP 192.168.1.1 changed from 38-94-ed-ba-87-9d to 54-e0-19-09-fe-4a 0xc
The Orbi is not "changing MAC addresses". This message is saying that IP address 192.168.1.1 is being broadcast by more than one device on the network. There is a free tool on the internet which looks up MAC address by vendor:
https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html
These two devices are:
38-94-ed, which is assigned to Netgear (i.e. the Orbi), and
54-e0-19, which is assigned to some company called Ring Ring LLC
Would you by chance have any "Ring Products"? (doorbell, security camera, etc.)
Yes, I have a number of Ring devices on the netwok. I have 6 cameras and I Ring door bell.

When you look in the Attached Devices page, does one of these Ring devices have a MAC address of 54-e0-19-09-fe-4a 0xc ?
Here is the configuration of the network. Note the MAC of RBR50 and the MAC of Ring Cam at 192.168.1.4. Also note the ARP errors I am getting in network monitor.
