RBR50 - Macbook Connection Issue
At home I have several devices connected to the Orbi network, including a SONOS system, several iPhones, Video doorbel,... I also have 2 macbooks and 2 windows laptops from work. When connecting...
Thanks for the reply. Did check the values that you suggested. Subnet Mask was set to 255.255.255.0.
For the IP addresses. It starts at xxx.xxx.x.2 and ends with xxx.xxx.x.254.
But I find it strange that I only have this issue with the MacBooks. Other devices do not have troubles, and can connect even more devices. It is only with the MacBooks that cannot get connected unless I switch one other device off.

Is the Macbook set to obtain an IP address or is it set with a permanent IP address? It almost sounds like, since it is only the Macbook, that an IP reservation conflict may be causing it. Flush DNS and release/renew IP address on the Macbook.
- Was set to auto receive an IP address.
But while I was looking further I learned the problem with the connection is with the MacBook (hard or software). I will start looking for a solution there. Seems te be an issue as both the MacBooks we have, endure this problem. Both same model. I just saw they had the same issue on other networks too (outside our home).
Thanks for the help!
