RBR50 stopped working in access point mode
Hi, I run a home network with four LANs and have a RBR50 router (+ two satellites) working as access points. THE DHCP assignment is handled across all four LANs by pfSense which sits in between ISP ...
FURRYe38 that was helpful, I got the router to start working with static IP but satellites will not work so that provided some room for investigation. I captured packets on pfSense for Orbi's MAC on port 67 & 68 and did not get a single packet.
The culprit turned out to be pfSense or rather me :smileymad: I had turned off DHCP server on the LAN. Not sure what I was thinking but that was the root cause, as soon as DHCP was turned on, all Orbi devices synced like a charm in less than 5 minutes!!
Thanks for the pointers, it did help set me in the right direction :robotvery-happy:
