SO, my new AX4200 config (router & 2 nodes) is a mess. Before I set it up, I changed my existing setup to lease IP addresses < 130, and waited for everything to have an IP address in that range before I did anything. Then I updated firmware all around, and did a factory reset before setting it up. Then before I let any devices connect to the Orbi network I changed DHCP to be > 130. then I let everything connect and virtually everything got new IP addresses. Then the problems began...

 

My wife yelled that our streaming device was pausing repeatedly. I checked the devie's IP address, and it was new. I rebooted the device for good measure. Same IP address. I went to the Netgear admin UI to look at the connected devices and it showed a completely different device on that IP address.

 

I was having the same issue on another streaming device, and same pattern. The IP address was showed as being assigned to a completely different device.

 

I have no other router or any kind on my network. I've had to swap back to my previous setup and everything is rock solid again...

 

Before I return it, any ideas??
