HI, I have an ORBI RBR850 it doesn't seen to be assigning IP addresses to wired devices.
My RBR850 is not allowing wired devices on my network to be assigned IP addresses. My router is configured with 15 mac addresses that get static IP addresses, most of these are wired, TV, Amp, DV...
I have connected both the TV and a server directly to the ORBI, no assignment of IP addresses occured.
Thanks for the link to the other AX community, I'll post there. And thanks for your help
I also attached the log file.

Very strange. The Orbi seems to be assigning IP's both to devices in the "assigned" group (6,30) and in the DHCP group (102,106,110,111,112,150,151). What could be different about the TV and the server?
They are both configured to use DHCP for the ethernet connection?
Cables have been swapped "just in case"?
unlike "things that are portable", it is not practical to move them to another network and see if they connect there.
I have kept several older routers in a box for experiments. I plug one into the Orbi and then connect things to it for tests. The subnet would be different, but something connected to one of these routers should get an IP through DHCP.
2.6 is a canon printer in the office, its wired and configured with the 2.6 IP internally, I only added it to the reservations so I knew what it was. 2.30 is a wireless conection to my laptop.
I might take the server off DHCP and see if it connects. When I did this to the TV it still didn't have internet access.
And I'll move this to the other community..............
Just checked my router is a AX6000
Thanks
