Orbi RBK763S - Costco - Replacing RBK53
After the most recent FW was pushed to my devices (without me having any say in the matter), my entire RBK53 system is dysfunctional, replacing multiple devices IP addresses with IP starting '172.' ...
What do you mean by this?
Sorry if I'm not understanding
Just try the default out of the box IP address range.
You can setup IP address reservations for the RBS and your devices.
How many devices do you have in total?
When you say try 'out of the box', isn't that what I would already be doing since I haven't touched any of the subnet stuff?
I have less than 25 devices including the 2 satellites, one of which won't work because it is using a '172.' IP address:
Also, when I setup '192.168.1.XX' IP addresses in DHCP server, it still ignores them and assigns '172.' addresses regardless.
All Orbi systems are default 192.168.1.1 out of the box.
Did you set up or Orbi 50 series for the 172 pool string. Even the 50 series factory defaults are 192.1681.1.
I can assign a 192.168.1.xx to any device, and it shows as that in the IP address table, but when I look at attached devices one of the satellites still shows as 172.27.35.65 and of course unable to sync.
Why is it even using this IP address range? I've never heard of it in my life, so certainly would never have purposely set such a range?
I've read that 172 is for private devices that are not able to be found on the internet?
So how did this range get into my Orbi, and remain there after multiple factory resets/FW upgrades and downgrades?
