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

    The MAC address is the same for each entry in the logs. I also checked for the setting and it doesn't look like the Galaxy Note 8 has a Randomized vs Device MAC option.

      Randomized MAC is usually an option in developer settings

      Android 10 has Randomized MAC set as default, Galaxy Note 8 sounds not on this, so your issue is not on MAC address related. It needs to capture packets in the air to judge what went wrong with DHCP packets

        Since the issue is not isolated to the Note 8 I suspect it is not the issue. The same log excerpt without the Note 8 entries still shows multiple devices being assigned the same IP address within seconds, certainly shorter thatn the normal 12 hour lease.
