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 h...
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.
No problem, the router firmware V1.0.1.36_1.0.33 connected to a Spectrum Modem model ET2251.
Forgot to confirm the modem is not also a router.

It took a bit of time to track down that device, but it looks like a modem only box.
And you are on the latest firmware for the MR90 that I have seen.
Anything else on the network that could cause these duplicate IP addresses?
Where are you seeing those duplicates listed? In the graphical user interface (GUI) or an app?
Has your troubleshooting gone down the factory reset path?
- I was seeing the duplicate IPs using the GUI. Nothing else on the net functioning as a DHCP server. What was interesting was each conflict was with a wired and wireless device and it only happens post router boot. Once online the addresses are provided without conflict. Note I have 32 endpoints of which 13 are wired and usually 3 conflicts post reboot.

This is the first report here of that behaviour that I can recall with this, or any other, router. My memory may be failing, but it didn't crop up during beta testing of the MK9# range.
Have you tried the reset move?
