- Thanks for adding the part about the dialyzer, I can tell you for certain that is absolutely the unknown MAC address you're seeing so definitely don't block it! Reason I am so certain is because someone else had an unknown MAC address and it was the same or a similar medical device. The MAC address is private for those devices which is why it doesn't appear when you do a lookup.
There is nothing alarming in the logs from what I can see so all good there, though the disconnects are likely due to DHCP so please do the following.
On the LAN Settings page, set the DHCP range to start at .50 (so the end is around 250 I believe), then assign reserved IP addresses to devices between .2 & .49 so they're out of the DHCP range, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes and see if that stops the disconnects.
I keep getting told I am using an invalid extension. I'm also unloading my groceries but wanted you to know I'm right here dealing with this.

- Thank you for this advice. I did not see it whilst trying to edit my post to a .txt file, so I apologize.
Funny you mention someone else having a dialyzer; it may have been one of my posts. I remember talking about it in one of my other posts.
I noticed the frequent DHCP changes as well, and wondered why it seemed to randomly happen. This exact same scenario happened last night, but the logs actually showed a DOS WinNuke entry listed. I know not to worry about those through all of the readings I've done here, as the logs are meant for the devs to troubleshoot.- Ah yes it was you actually! You can take a look at the bottom of that post if you want to double check my reasoning but I'm pretty confident that is the case.
Yes exactly, the most likely cause is the DHCP renewals, it is something NG are working on as well.- I will give this a shot when I get back home, and will remember to let you know how it works out. Thank you for all of your work here. You reply to almost all of my posts that I'm sure, to you, are nonsense. I appreciate the respect you've always shown me no matter how stupid my question may be.
