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...
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)?

Yes, this is a known problem.

Also enable SIP ALG as well under Advanced tab/Setup/WAN Setup
Thanks so far FURRYe38 . Here's where I'm at..
Enabled SIP ALG (open).
Logs are being sent via email, but for some odd reason, they're limited to the first 15 lines of activity.. not sure what's up with that. Regardless, here it is since I logged into the router right when this issue popped up..
The D0:50 mac address is my desktop (wired). The 6C:40 mac is from an old iPhone I use as an iPod. Problem persists even with this device off (which it is 99% of the time). Also not sure what that LAN access from remote is..
