Orbi RBR750 DHCP was assigning IPs far too often
Hi all. Not so happy with Netgear these days. This problem originally came about a few months ago and I've just been putting it off since Netgear support delayed my support case/request until I was o...
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.

Please enable email logging and lets see if this helps on this:
Modem is mine.. it's an Arris Surfboard SB6183. Like I said, when connecting my switch to that directly, I haven't had the same issue.
Sqft is ~2400. Distance between router and satellite is probably 25-30 feet. They are on separate floors.
Email logging is now setup. I'm guessing just attach a log the next time I see this issue?
Lets see if email logs changes anything.
You might turn down the transmit power on the RBR to 50% as well.
Just let the logs run. No need to keep them or post them.
Will wait. The only thing I saw in the log previously that was a little suspect was the DHCP assigning IPs to MACs more often than I'd think necessary.
Does the RBR transmit strength make sense given that I'm seeing the issue on my wired connection (most often as well, considering I'm using it the most)?
