2016 MacBook Pro stay connected to Wifi but no internet bandwidth
I upgraded from an eero6ProE to the Obi wifi 7 with 2 Satellites. Speed and coverage seemed to be significantly improved. System is running for a few days and it seems more stable. Experienced some ...
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Set to both wpa2, wpa3
Not sure how to do the IP reservation. I tried the manual IP from the laptop, but after it connected it showed the original IP address used in the router/satellite. Same IP as the automatic selection.

So Mixed WPA2/WPA3 is set? Wondering if you change the mode to OPEN or disabled and see if the unsecure SSID changes the behavior. Possible that older laptop wifi HW may not work right with mixed mode WPA2/WPA3 is set. I see this on older routers that support wireless bridge mode, won't connect if mixed mode is set. Has to be WPA2 only.
I tried wpa2 only under the IoT network, in only 2.4, only 5 and then both, same issue. under the reserve, do i enter an new ip address under the advanced /LAn setup, after clicking Add you see a list of connected devises. Do i connect the laptop and when i see the ip showing up in the list i select it, or i have to assign a new IP address?
The link with the instructions are very clear, thanks. One clarification. Every time the laptop is connected (and then there is no internet after a few minutes) is assigned the same Ip address. The IP never changes. I can create a new IP (with 1 increment, .39 vs .38 for example and copy the mac address. Would this be different, as the IP address remains the same every time.
I tried the reservation and static IP but it didn't work. Now I'm getting a "failure" under the add reserve address and redirects back tot he lan setup page. I deleted the reserve address and i'm getting a failure again when i click the edit button where in the past i could see all the connected devises
