RBR50 with Firmware 2.5.1.8
I just did a manual update to 2.5.1.8 from 2.5.0.38 as I also added a 4th satelitte. Everything is connected via ethernet backhaul. Everything is running fine (ALL wifi switches and echo dots ...
Give it a bit, My worked fine too for a bit, then devices started not showing up.
I got a IP CAM, Ring style doorbell, a MS surface, a UPS, iPhone that don't show up in connected devices.
Everything worked fine, just hard to set static IP's when it looks as if it's not connected, but you kjnow it is...
You said "static" IP's... have you tried using "Reserved" IP's instead?
Yes, I have many IP's reserved, then a block dedicated for DHCP.
All my cameras, server,NAS's,UPS,Printers, etc I have reserved to avoid conflcts.
I have typicly 20-25 devices at a time connected, about 10 of which are mobile devices, laptops, iPads etc.
Most of the ethernet cabled devices are static and reserved.
My setup:
RBR50, sat-RBS50, and sat-RBW30
Not usre if I stated in this post previously, but EVERYTHING connects fine, surfs, blasing fast wired or WiFi 5Ghz or 2.5Ghz and good coverage.
Just needed to be able to set some reserves and it would be nice if the network map worked as well which shows no devices connected to either SAT.
I have a similar total number of devices but only reserve addresses for a few items (Receiver, PS4, ATV 4K). Everything else I let use DHCP. I have DHCP enabled for all and the reserves are actually within the DHCP range.
