RBKE963 - DHCP/Connectivity Failure
I have the RBKE963B kit here in the house, one device on each floor at opposite ends of the property, the top floor is connected wired, the middle floor is wifi backhaul. The connectivity in between ...
V6.0.3.85_3.1.15 is the firmware in use. Cables are all CAT6A.
Take the router out of the equation and stick some manual IPs on my NAS and a laptop and connect it around the house at various points in the network and you get full 2.5Gbps throughput, between my desktops I get full 10Gbps, the runs are relatively short.
I'm tempted to remove DHCP from the Orbi and run it in a container on my NAS and see if thats any better. This only started happening when I got the new Orbi's in, previous mesh system has been fine for multiple years.
Something to try on your Orbi system that I do on mine. Set the DHCP IP address pool to 192.168.1.100 to .200.
For my NAS I set a static IP address ON the NAS to something outside of this pool size I use. I have two NAS. Both on statics and have zero DHCP issues. There always there and online at designated IPs
I'm waiting for my XS505M to arrive so I can play around on 10Gb.

My NAS is already on a static address and I've moved the address range to remove the overlap. Had to do this as it is unacceptable to have to reboot multiple times for DHCP reservations to work on the Orbi (absolutely shocking implementation).
Ok. Static IP addressed devices should not over lap or be in same range as the default IP address pool.
You can Disable WiFi Private Address on iOS while at home. Really no need for it enabled while at home. Only works best when your traveling.

I know and they don't.
Disabling the iOS features has no impact on my wired devices dropping off the network for no reason.
