RBR750 assigning DHCP ips every 30 seconds according to logs. Router reboots randomly 2x a month
1 RBR750 1 RBS750 Firmware : V7.2.7.15_5.1.16 Last Reboot : April 1st, around 5:20pm Logs are in this shared folder Netgear 2 Issues : Frequent DHCP assignment and Random Reboots 2-3 times a...
I agree, DHCP servers should not, which is why this is strange.
The 4 devices that appeared most in the logs before i did address reservation, 3 were macbook pro's and 1 was apple watch. The strange thing is without making any changes to the laptops, the activity stopped after reservations, if the laptop was an issue we would still see a dhcp request.
What is the lease period of Orbi DHCP lease?
First time seeing this? - have seen this for a while, since i started looking at logs as part of the reboot problem
What brand and model# devices do you have connected? - Apple macbook pro, 2019, 2021, 2024
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? - Motorola B12 (i had a SB6141 before which i thought caused the reboot problem so replaced with B12)
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. - Yes, but i doubt this is causing DHCP issues between Orbi and end devices
How many RBS are deployed? - 1
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? - 3000
Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF? - Have not tried it
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? - Dont have any wired devices
What channel configurations are currently set on the router? - 2.4 Ghz (Auto), 5 Ghz (48)
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home: Done
Try with the RBS disabled.
Ya, Apple seems to do with this Orbi systems.
Happened on older FW versions I bet.

Yes, it happened with previous version as well. Was really hoping that the latest firmware that was released recently would have a fix but same behavior.
Should i consider rebooting every week so at least i know the time (dont want a reboot happening during an important meeting since i work remotely full time). Not sure if there is a memory leak somewhere.
I ran my 850 seres on same new FW for 30 days and saw no reboots.
Something to try is to turn OFF logging to see if this stops the reboots.
We've passed to NG on a couple of different occasions. Someone isn't paying attention. 🙄
