Orbi RBR50 About device names

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!
Ok, so I deleted the odd MAC 00:12:34:56:78:90 from the authorized but not connected list. Next time looked it had returned. Sometimes it has an Unknown name and sometimes Camille Bauer. What causes his??
One time it. even appeared like this. One reserved IP with two MACs
