RBR50 and 2 RBR50S and one wall satellite - STOPPED WORKING
I have had my RBR50 (latest firmware is 2.2.1.210) since 11/2016. I can't get Netgear to support it (surprise). I came home tonight and all my satellites are magically sharing the same ip address ...
4 hours later, I changed all my satellites to static via these directions:

I work from home and have my in-laws here as well. We can have up to 100 devices at a time. I have a large array of DHCP but last night figured out how to assign the satellites to static. That worked.
I do have about 5 Netgear Switches on my network. I’m curious why would that matter?

Any of the switches managed or GreenEthernet supporting. IGMP and Green Ethernet switches seem to not work well with orbi. Just checking.

Switches are Netgears GS108 switches. I think they are passive and not smart or green.
I woke up this morning and now have had the same problem. My satellites have decided to go back to .250 address. I have factory reset everything now (or at least I belive I have) and now they won't sync. I am getting solid blue, then magenta color. I am beyong exhausted of this issue. Anyone have a way to reconnect the satellites? I can't seem to get any of them to sync. I have moved my satellites within 3 feet of my router and only syncing 1 at a time.
I have also performed factor reset on router. I have tried factory reset on satelittes by holding the reset buttons down till the power indicator flashes amber. Any other suggestions?
Lets try upgrading FW:
Load the FW on to one satellilte at a time. I would attempt to get 1 satellite attached to the router first. if you can get it sync'd long enough to take the FW file, then try doing the same with the other satellite. If you can get FW loaded on to the satellites, then load FW on the RBR. Need the v212 first, then v32.
I would wire connect a PC to the back of the satellite that has your RBS FW file on it and send it directly if possible.- I am 99% positive I loaded the latest firmwares over the weekend to the satellites. I believe I have that in the above posts. If this is different I would gladly do this. How would I check the satellites considering I can’t get them to connect? Thanks.
