RBKE960 "Refused to Connect" after IP reservation changes
This is a report of a newly encountered issue with my Orbi RBKE963 (1 router + 2 satellites) running latest 7.2.7.15 firmware: After making IP reservation changes/additions and router rebooting, ...
Going through this thread, I believe that my issue is exactly what you have experienced. I went through a file I created that had my IP address listed and realized that I have a single device with a static IP address that falls within my DHCP range.
But reading through your message above, I'm a little confused. Did your RBS's have static IP addresses originally of 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 or were they dynamic?
The reason I ask is because you use the term 'IP address reservations'. I've always associated that term with static IP addresses.
You stated above that you changed your DHCP address pool range to be 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.199 so that your satellites are included. But if your satellites have static IP addresses, that would be an incorrect configuration.
So, are the satellite IP's static or dynamic?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Do not associate IP address reservation with static IP address. These are two different things and how they are configured and used.
