Orbi Satellite does not see Wired device
I'm connecting a wired Ethernet RTU to teh RBR50 Satellite and when configured for DHCP it is not "seen". If I configure the RTU device with a static IP - it is seen and connects perfectly. Why ...

Unfortunately I don't think it is an Orbi issue, or all other devices would have DHCP problems. Can you factory reset the device or reset the network on the device?
Is it possible the device is defective? And as CrimpOn asked, can you provide the name of the device that is malfunctioning?

The Ethernet RTU is produced by Eybond: http://www.eybond.com/page193?_l=en#bb
Again it works with other routers in DHCP mode and works fine with a static IP - just doesn't seem to accept DHCP from the Orbi RBR50 (main or satellite). Access Control is disabled. Since it seems no IP is assigned, "arp -p" does not see the device either (not unexpected).
Any further diagnostic suggestions welcomed!
