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.

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

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.
