DHCP flood in log.
The Orbi 970 with one satellite is struggling to provide reliable coverage in a small house. A single 970 unit failed to come anywhere close to the connectivity performance of my old Synology router,...
Thanks for posting the Orbi log. Yes, devices requesting DHCP from the server that often is unusual.
Is it correct to assume that 192.168.1.x is the primary network and 192.168.2.x is the Guest WiFi network?
(if so, there seem to be a LOT of devices connected to the Guest WiFi network)
I use guest for a lot of connectivity for devices that don't need to see my network, and my amazon echos...
GN is mostly a transitory network, not really ment for long term connections or IoT devices.
You should be using the IoT network for most IoT devices, including echos. I keep my 3 echoes on the main WLAN here.
15 feet is too close between the RBR and RBS. 30 feet is starting distance between them. This maybe causing devices to ping pong back and forth trying to lock on to a signal when the signal over lap is bad thus causing many DHCP requests to be seen in the logs.
Try changing to manual channels 1 and 40 on the RBR.
