It has been on a reserved address.
WiFi printer no wired connection
Bonjour is selected and on.
Phones are on random up ip addresses. Can’t keep switching that on and off for them and not sure why we should.
I think I said I now have the RBR750P with two satellites.
Have not tried setting the channel as you mentioned toned but will if it’s only for the printer? If for all the WiFi on 2.4 maybe not because we have several devices that connect over 2.4.
Thank you. I guess the only thing you recommended that I had not already set, is the channel.

When a WiFi channel number is changed, every WiFi device will discover the new channel within seconds.
One concern about having WiFi devices "randomize" their MAC address is that to the printer, they appear to be different devices every time they attempt to connect. The setting is supposed to be per WiFi network, so once it has been disabled for the Orbi WiFi SSID, it will stay disabled (only for that specific SSID) until the phone firmware is updated again. (Why Apple and Android insist on resetting the user's choice when they update software is anyone's guess.)
