AX4200 IP conflicts galore!
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 befor...
Yea, the main reason to use a different pool was to help with troubleshooting (initially I just let the router do it's thing, but that wasn't working so well imediately). The idea was to easily be able to identify which devices the Orbi had recognized and assigned addresses to. That'd give me a pretty good idea of what devices I might need to "nudge". DOing that made it clear that the Orbi was confusing devices it was assigning IP addresses to.
Yea, I suspect manualy assigning addresses to things might work, buthonestly it really isn't worth the effort to me. DHCP is pretty elemental to what a router does, and if it is having problems with that, I'm not sure what else it is likely to be messing up.
Going to be returning this setup today and moving on to something else. I appreciate responses though...
