Does the MAC address remain constant?
I have not noticed if the MAC is the same. I do know the IP is. Its reserved.
Right now the MAC is correct according to the paperwork.
Next time the name changes I will double check the MAC as well.
Thanks
Was the IP address reserved using the Orbi app or the web browser interface?
If I understand you correctly I used the web (my computer) to reserve the IP and not the phone App.
I did find the device in question in the allowed but not connected section of connected device tab.
on the computer is was
name... unknown
MAC. 00:12:34:56:78:90
IP... on the app as another IP
but on my phone it was
name...Camille Bauer
MAC 00:12:34:56:78:90
IP.... as assigned
Thats not the correct MAC
Now that I see that MAC it stands out like a sore thumb!
