Router continually reassigning IP addresses to the satellites.
I'm also having this issue.
Firmware version is V4.6.8.5_2.1.9
Home size ~6500 Sqft
Traffic meter enabled, no limiting
FIOS ONT
1 RBR850 + 1 RBS850 connected via wired backhaul.
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?
Two switches in between, both showing 1 gbps connection with lights, confirmed with speed tests getting ~900mbps download/upload. Cat 6/7 used with all connections.
**Oops. Yes, RBS is set to 192.168.1.2 and maintains that reservation.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
Other than duplicate IP address assignments, is the system working ok?
Both are Netgear. One is a dumb switch, the other is ProSafe. The IP reassignments seem to correlate with wireless devices getting dumped off the RBS and not being able to reconnect for a while. But not all devices and never the wired devices.
