Keep an eye on things. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Thanks for the quick reply! Ended up upgrading the fw on 2x satellites and router this afternoon. So far so good. Time will tell.
Hey there - I seem to have found out what is happening to my system (I think) - but not sure how to resolve. WHen I try to connect certain items to the RBR850 + (2) RBS850s The item will start to connect giving it a "192.168.x.xx IP address, THEN it charges the IP address to a "169.xxx.x.xx type address. The device will conttect to the network, but not to the internet. How to I get my Orbi system to STOP issuing 169 IP addresses ?
Thanks
Hi
The IP range 169.254. x.x: is an Automatic Private IP address generated by the device when it can't see the DHCP server on the network (router typically)
If you look on your router does it show these devices as connected?
Thanks for the reply, YES it shows as connected to the Router, but cannot gain access to the Internet using the 169.xxx.x.x type address
So, either I need to
- Relocate my router
- Filter out the assignment of 169 addresses (if possible)
- Allow 169 addresses to access the internet (not sure how that works)
Your continued help is appreciated

I recommend starting a new post since you have the 8 series Orbi and this thead is for the 7 series.
Thank you.
