Logs full of DHCP IP to MAC address

My logs are full of dhcp requests:

 

[DHCP IP: (192.168.1.47)] to MAC address 06:C2:5A:6A:57:F5, Monday, Jan 23,2023 07:50:26
[DHCP IP: (192.168.1.54)] to MAC address C8:9E:43:44:5B:9D, Monday, Jan 23,2023 07:50:25
[DHCP IP: (192.168.1.47)] to MAC address 06:C2:5A:6A:57:F5, Monday, Jan 23,2023 07:50:21
[DHCP IP: (192.168.1.20)] to MAC address C8:9E:43:68:F2:AF, Monday, Jan 23,2023 07:50:20

 

192.168.1.54 is one satellite; 192.168.1.20 is another.

 

192.168.1.47 is not listed as any device connected to my network, can't log into that address either

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

    Seen this as most of the time is the client device trying to decide which signal source to connect too. Thus causes a repeating log entry.

     

    You'll need to find out what .47 is coming from. Is something on your system that is being connected to the Orbi system. What all do you have connected?
