Orbi setting totally different IP address RBR50
Okay, so my Orbi will randomly set IP address of 192.168.107.X.. I actually decided to reset my Lan Starting IP Address to 172.16.1.X and its still setting the 192x for certain devices!!!! Im poking...
Could you please identify specifically which Orbi model this is and the exact firmware release?
Would help if you could make a screen shot of the Advanced Tab, Setup, LAN Setup parameters.
(mine are attached as an example)
My (limited) experience with the Orbi DHCP process is that it seems to defer much too often to devices which ask to "renew" an existing IP address. "Sure", it says, "go ahead and keep that address." When the correct response (in MY view) is, "Nope. Sorry. My LAN reservation table says you are supposed to use THIS address."
For example, sometimes I get a new gizmo and decide, "it's a keeper. I'll assign it an address." Do so, reboot the device and it gets the same damn IP it had before.
Are you 100% certain that none of these devices have a "static" IP?
Thats what i thougth as well.. but no, no hard coded IP.
its just really odd and cant figure it out..
