Problem with wired connection RBR40.
Dear community.
I worked with my ORBI (RBR40) for 5 months and today I connect (wired) to router IX220 (LenovoEMC Storage). Two things happened, that I would like ask gurus:
1. After connection I...
Thanks for quick answer, but if I use wireless connection in home all devices are connected to Orbi WLAN (I mean 192.168.1.X) and not to ISP addresses.
Why wired connection is not use it if I connect to ORBI router?
Thanks and best regards,
Because when you attach to wifi the device gets (as part if the wifi attach procedure) the Orbi IP address as the gateway and DHCP server address, but this is not the case for wired devices, where this will be random, the server that replies first will be the gateway, so the same device can get the IP address one time from the ISP router and other time from Orbi.
It’s not recommended to have two routers in your network, you will get many such random issues.
