Constant DHCP IP to MAC address logs

Hello - This started happening last week. Im getting constant DHCP IP to MAC address logs from various devices on the network. Any idea ? I believe it's causing the network to drop eventually. Please help

Re: Constant DHCP IP to MAC address logs

Please remove MAC and any WAN IP addresses from your content before posting in public forums for security reasons.

 

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

What devices do you have all connected? 

How many devices do you have connected? 

 

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Try setting up some IP address reservations on the MR for your devices? 

 

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
