Orbi 850 running V7.2.8.5_5.1.21 dhcp issues
Hi I recently switched my Orbi 850 back to router mode from AP mode as I have a new ISP. What i've found within a day is that the dhcp function on the Orbi 850 (+1 satellite) running V7.2.8.5_5.1...
The ISP provides a fibre service and then Ethernet converter as an NTU/modem. It is a direct connection from that to the WAN port on the ORbi 850. This is not the issue.
I have tried changing the DHCP range from default to .50 to .199 but made no difference. I don't want to use an IOT. But wouldn't that use the same DHCP range or does that have its own range?
I would try the IoT network for your IoT stuff.
50 devices here. All on main WLAN.
I might bring my 850 series out and check this.
