How can ORBI assign a 192.168.2.X address and the firewall allows that IP traffic all over the network , the Firewall does not even see it , yet I can access all network device .
I really need some assistance in understanding this , shouldnt access Point disable IP assignments ?
So the access point assigns an IP which it shouldn’t
[DHCP IP: (192.168.2.2)] to MAC address FC:B3:BC:XXXXX, Friday, Dec 03,2021 17:07:10
[DHCP IP: (192.168.2.2)] to MAC address FC:B3:BC:XXXXX, Friday, Dec 03,2021 17:04:10
But the worst part is that the Firewall is setup to quarantine ANY new device and with that IP assignment it just passes trough firewall and does not even see it , nor quarantine it .
