DHCP reservations not working
Yesterday I added a raspberry pi to my network (running Nagios/NEMS). Every time it rebooted it took the next IP in sequence. That shouldn't happen... Instead of fighting with it, I created a reserva...

I likewise had this issue, and a reboot of the router corrected it. I reported the issue to NG support, and they claimed the system firmware is "glitching" causing this. They admit that the firmware is still a bit buggy with v2.5.1.8 on the RBR50, but have no ETA on when they will have a stable and reliable mesh network.

Discuss away. Just saying, contact NG support. Get them involved. They need to know about this. Not here to argue.
Who talks like that. LOL
I'll be posted as I see fit.
Good Luck.

If they are not following this forum their executive leadership is clueless.
And yes, we are all aware that you will post your inane nonsense as you see fit. Anyone who's been here any length of time has observed you littering the forum with it since your very first day, when you spammed the exact same post dozens (if not hundreds) of times.

If you think that. Thats fine. My record shows other wise.
Been long time known that NG engineering doesn't follow forums. Moderators maybe. Again, users need to let NG know is all i'm saying.
Good Luck in your endeavours. - OrbiPhilipMar 10, 2020Luminary

Your record shows spamming and useless drivel. Maybe 5% useful content, if I'm being very generous. - BoilerPlateMar 10, 2020Apprentice

Apparently Orbi makes very little effort to maintain lease history and/or attempt to reissue the same addresses. Since employing Nagios a week ago I've watched two devices change IP addresses without explanation. This should not be happening since we aren't even remotely close to the number of addresses allocated.
Note: If you are running TiVo, you will need to create reservations for all source (i.e. DVR) devices on your network. If a source device changes addresses it screws up the TiVo beacon process (Bonjour/zeroconf) and you will need to repeat guided setup on all remote (i.e. mini) devices.
