Router continually reassigning IP addresses to the satellites.
I'm also having this issue.

Two switches in between, both showing 1 gbps connection with lights, confirmed with speed tests getting ~900mbps download/upload. Cat 6/7 used with all connections.
**Oops. Yes, RBS is set to 192.168.1.2 and maintains that reservation.

What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
Other than duplicate IP address assignments, is the system working ok?

Both are Netgear. One is a dumb switch, the other is ProSafe. The IP reassignments seem to correlate with wireless devices getting dumped off the RBS and not being able to reconnect for a while. But not all devices and never the wired devices.

What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?
What is the current CTS value seen on the RBR? Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try lowering the transmit power on the RBR from 100% to 50%. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Distance between them is probably 30+ feet. RBR is in the basement and RBS is on the 3rd floor. CTS is 64. Is it possible to lower the power on the RBR alone and not affect the RBS? I have a few places in my house that don't have great coverage already.
