Hello dogmatix
You can check the attached devices on each satellite by using the satellites Ip address in your web browser this will tell you only the devices attached to that unit.

Hi Darren,
I have done what you suggested. In fact the duplicate IPs for the same mac address are showing up on the same satellite. I am wondering why Orbi is assigning a a second IP that is not the reserved IP for a Tivo which has mac address reservation.

As I explained earlier in this thread, each of your TIVOs is going to get two IP addresses. One IP is for the TIVO box. The other IP is for the TIVO wireless N adapter itself. The adapter pulls the second IP via DHCP so it can check for firmware updates, etc.
I would not recommend it, but if you want to set a static IP for the wireless N adapter, you must do this by unplugging the adapter, connecting it to a PC, and logging into the adapter's management GUI. Directions are here:
