WIFI Slow and Random disconnects

Hello,

 

Orbi is in AP mode. I changed ISP few days ago and I have problems since, i have random disconnecions and slow WIFI. I noticed that the ORBI router show a wrong DHCP server. the DHCP range from the ISP modem is 192.168.0.xxx and the modem IP address 192.168.0.1 but ORBI show DHCP Server in the old modem range ??? 

 

Is it possible to change that ? Is it possible to fix the IP address of the ORBI in AP mode ???

 

Connection Status
IP Address    192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask    255.255.255.0
Default Gateway    192.168.0.1
DHCP Server    192.168.1.1
DNS Server    109.88.203.3
62.197.111.140
Lease Obtained    7 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes

Thank you for helping

Re: WIFI Slow and Random disconnects

Hello All,

 

I finaly found the culprit, I have a little TP-Link configured as a client to my ORBI WIFI and guess what, the DHCP server was enabled (gasp) so sometimes my devices included ORBI router and satellite picked up an IP address from it (re-gasp) with the wrong gateway then....

 

So now my problems are solved

 

Thank you very much all for your help and especialy @Case850

Re: WIFI Slow and Random disconnects

you don't want your dhcp to be the same as your gateway 
there supposed to be diffrent 
192.168.0.1 default for modems
192.168.1.1 default for internal networks

your issues are more then likely due to bad frimware that netgear has been pumping out and hopefully fixed soon 

even if your router for some weird reason was calling the same ip or trying to be the same ip it would be the fault of bad firmware

Re: WIFI Slow and Random disconnects

 

Modem-Router(192.168.0.xxx) > Orbi(AP mode) >
The ISP Modem-Router is acting as both the Default Gateway & DHCP Server with an address of 192.168.0.1. 

Hi Case850

You are absolutly right but it seems that the ORBI kept my OLD ISP modem DHCP server IP ... My old modem DHCP was in the range 192.168.1.xxx

 

Can I set a static IP to the ORBI in AP mode ??

Should I do a factory reset (A shame but if it solve) ??

 

Help needed ! Thanks
