MR90 Connectivity Issues
Installed the MR90 mesh system to replace an RAX120 router for increased coverage. Initially worked fine but was continuously experiencing intermittent connectivity drops from wired endpoints. I have both wired and wireless devices on my home network. Upon further investigation, I noticed that the router was providing duplicate IP addresses to wired and wireless devices post reboot. Devices with duplicate IPs would, as expected, had connectivity issues. Looks like a timing issue within DHCP service. As a work around, I set all wired devices with a dedicated IP address to take them out the DHCP pool. So far so good, but pretty basic stuff and hope NETGEAR provides a fix in the future. If not fixed, I'll probably return within my 90 day window.

I haven't seen that.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". There may be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
If there is one it might also help if you told people the make and model number of the modem/gateway/ONT that sits between this router and the Internet. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
I ask because a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
