It does not appear that anyone is assigned the task of keeping up the list of Netgear products.
Not only that, but someone decided it makes more sense to separate the community forum by product so that, for example, there is a sepatate forum for the "AX" product line, a separate forum for the Orbi "app" (which has almost no posts), a separate forum for the "Pro" line, for the "voice", for Orbi's with cable modems built-in, but not a separate forum for the outdoor satellite (RBS50Y).
It seems that most people find the community forum by doing an internet search (I searched for "netgear orbi forum") and wind up here.
Sometimes, a question clearly is more likely to get a response if posted in one of those other forums, so the response they get here is along the lines of, "nobody on this forum has one of those. Maybe somebody who does have one will have an answer." with a link to the forum:

Other times, the question seems to be generic and someone tries to respond.
In regard to this DHCP question, does this happen to:
- Only WiFi devices, or both wired and WiFi devices?
- All devices, or only the ones specifically mentioned?
I have only one Nest, and it renews the IP every 12 hours.

I am seeing both wired and wirelss. The most common look to be the GalaxyNote8 (wireless) and the SonyTV (wired).
I havent been checking the MAC addresses long enough to tell if all devices are being reassigned more often than 12 hours but I will keep an eye on it.

Change your phone on MAC address as Phone MAC instead of Randomized MAC
