Satellite IP addresses
I noticed in the device table in the web UI that the IP addresses that have been automatically assigned to my three RBS50 satellites connected via WiFi bak haul are all 192.168.1.250 which seems odd ...
Firmware 2.7.5.4 for all except for the outdoor that is 2.7.4.12 and I’ve rebooted them all a few times.
I went into the DHCP config and added one of the .250 as a reserved IP then added each other the others as .249 and .248 which sort of worked - but with two adamant to remain as .250. A reboot at that point now has them on unique IPs from .247.
What is odd is why they all happily coexisted as duplicates - is this a feature of wireless backhaul or just a UI reporting quirk?

Looks like bad behavior...or in a bad state...
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Yes I've done a few rebuilds and only noticed this recently. I manually re assigned IPs so they are now unique.
So are the RBS now showing correctly?
- Yes the RBS behaved fine after assigning them statics. Ultimately though I replaced the whole system with the 860 and two satellites, I note that the sats are dynamically assigned IPs.
Now for some new fun and games with the 860 ecosystem… 🙂 have found a couple of different bugs to the 850.
