Duplicate IP Address
I just got this router yesterday and setup was easy. However, when I look at the Advanced tab I see duplicate IP addresses: The first is my Samsumg phone (checked the MAC address) and the second is ...
Okay...I didn't change the DHCP pool range but I did give my printer a static IP 0f .100. I have seven devices total and they all get assigned an IP below .010 so I should be good. Thanks for your help.
> [...] when I look at the Advanced tab I see duplicate IP addresses:
_Where_ are you looking? An "Attached Devices" report, or some other
thing/place? What's there other than the duplicate-address devices?
Does the problem persist after shutting down all the devices and
restarting them? Are all the client devices configured to use DHCP?
I launch that Netgear Genie and then click on the Attached Devices tab. It shows 7 devices...one wired (my PC) and six wireless. Two of the devices have the same name of EPSON72BA97 with an IP address of 192.168.1.5. One of those is my phone, the other my Epson printer. As I stated before, the MAC addresses are different and I know which is my phone when I look at it's MAC address. Sooo....if I turn my printer off and do a refresh my phone still shows the Epson name and IP address. Then if I turn my printer back on and do a refresh I get the EPSON72BA97 and 192.168.1.5 for both. I also get the same results if I turn them both off and back on separately after doing refreshes of the Genie program. It never ever recognizes my phone as a Galaxy S6. It does recognize my wife's phone as a Galaxy S3. I think I've done all I can...perhaps a Netgear technician can figure it out. Weird.

Still wondering.
Well...what I did was configure my printer manually to a different IP address. 192.168.1.10 rather than 192.168.1.5. So now the printer is 10, the phone 5 and all appears to be fine.
