RBR40 ORBI assigning IP out of range!

ORBI RBR40 is behaving very oddly.

IP Range is set to 192.168.0.x  

 

I lost internet to my wired ethernet PC. But was able to successfully connect same PC via WiFi.

 

Checked IP Table and found PC (ethernet) address was 169.254.118.245  !!!  No wonder no internet via ethernet.

 

Unfortunately the WiFi connect is unstable and it would drop.

 

So I rebooted the Orbi and this time it pull a correct 192.168.0.2 for the PC (ethernet) and all is good. Until it drops.

 

What is going on with the Orbi? Firmware I noted updated last night.

 

Using Win10, I checked network connections and Ethernet shows "could not identify network" during those down times. Not surprising.

 

Help?!
