Robdarftw You could try to enable Telnet on the router and clearing your DHCP lease table. And then connect one device at a time. That is the only way I think to get a new IP assigned to your devices, unless you reserve the IP or manually assign the IP on the client. I found that it needs a reboot for that to take effect.
I guess the solution would be avoid the RAX120 and possibly the RAX line until they fix their firmware. Networks with many always on devices will stuggle with this router. Netgear really needs to listen to the reviews and user feedback because something is clearly wrong with this device.
Switched to the Linksys Velop MX5 and everything works perfectly right out of the box (thank god because custom settings on it is non-existant).
So long Netgear, it was a nice decade of relible devices.
