Re: Orbi RBR 50 - Struggling to reconnect devices after reboot
I had a very similar issue on my RBRE 960 wifi 6 system, two satellites.
I might have found a fix to this. I had planned my network with nearly 100 devices in my home. I set DHCP reservations after a block of IPs in the subnet (block was .2-.119, DHCP was .120-.254). So far (not a ton of testing yet), changing to DHCP range back to .2-.254, while having many reservations between .2 and .119, I haven't noticed any issues yet.
Anyways, I hope this helps.

For IP address reservations, these need to be with in the default DCHP IP address pool range. If you have any static IP addresses configured devices, these need to be outside of the default DHCP IP address pool range. i.e. One could set a smaller DHCP IP address pool range, i.e. .100 thru .200 and use this pool for reserved IP addressing devices. While .2 thru .99 or .201 thru .254 can be used for static IP addressed devices.
