Orbi RBR50 Device Limit
Hi Guys, In past I opened the Discussin about lossing my IoT devices on my network https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/IoT-connection-issues/m-p/2137256#M125630 Well, on that discussion...
The OPNSense user manual says here https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/dhcp.html that there is a DHCP log file. Does the log show the laptop asking for an IP address?
I often set up Wireshark to capture network traffic so that I can examine DHCP packets (requests, offers, ACK's, etc.) Is Wireshark part of the OPNSense package? (I'm a Mint Ubuntu Linux user and have no recent experience with BSD.)
I am also a bit confused about packet flow. The WAN (Yellow) port on the Orbi is the "Port 1" that is connected to the internet modem?
It seems unusual to set up OPNSense and use only the DHCP service. Is this VM also the internet gateway/firewall/etc.?

Please follow the DHCP Log
My latop is 60:f2:62:ec:35:9c (TS-LPT-Ubuntu),
I'm Ubuntu user too :D :D but as know the Wireshark is not part of OPNSense but I'll try do something about that tomorrow.

Like a I mentioned before, the OPNSense is only for test propose, somehow I suspected the Router had some issues with the number of reserved fixed IPs, for that reason I tried the OPNSense. And yes, OPNSense is configured only to be DHCP Server, I dont have the Firewall/Gateway configured there.
Thank you
