rbr850/rbs850 won't release device, duplicate device
I have a few sonos speakers. The sonsos ONE will disconnects and won't reconnect. Sonos support points to Orbi/network as the problem. In my "Attached Devices" using the browser page, I see (2)...
Try setting up a IP address reservation for each device.

I would power OFF one of the devices. Go in and set the reservation. Apply the change and have the RBR set it. Then turn OFF the 1st devices then turn ON the 2nd devices and do same thing again for 2nd device.
bullm00n I have had the same experience as well. It's rough when you are having people over and your tending to your speakers:)
Also doesn't make it an easier when Orbi reports the wrong devices...one day its a camera then its the washer. Per @furrye38 I've assigned more devices to the address reservations in groups so I can easily see if something has been mislabeled.

Check out "Advanced IP Scanner". It's much better at showing what devices are on the network than Orbi. Its free and invaluable.
Thanks, good advice. I use LanScan (mac product) but I suspect it does a similar thing. I forgot I had it until I got knee deep into resolving Orbi's "Attached Device" mislabeling.
