Router continually reassigning IP addresses to the satellites.

I'm also having this issue.

    Please edit out any MAC addresses or product serial numbers before posting in public forums for security reasons. 

     

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

     

    How are your RBS connected to the RBR, wireless or wired? 

    How many RBS do you have connected? 

     

    Is Armor, SPC, or Traffic Meter enabled?

        Is the RBS directly connected to the back of the RBR or is there any LAN patch panel and LAN switch in between? 

        What CAT# cable are you using between the RBR and RBS? CAT6 is recommended. 

         

        Have you set up an IP address reservation for the RBS ON the RBR?
