ORBI Satellites
I have ORBI Router and 2 Satellites. (6,000 square for home). I am noticing that certain things disconnect. My nest cams for one are going offline a lot. I have just recently disabled beaming after researching this. I hope that fixes it. I also have a WNCE2001 that hooks to my DirecTV box. It works in the day, but when the kids go to bed, it doesn't connect. I changed that today to a static IP. I am hoping that helps (blind luck). During this troubleshooting I noticed the satellites appear to be getting new IP addresses assigned to them a lot. I have noticed at least 4-5 IP changes. 2 Questions... Why are they changing so often? If I make them static, will that cause any issues?Advanced Static IP Address Options
The D6400 has the concept of a Guest network where you can set whether wireless devices on the Guest network can talk to each other and access the LAN with the setting "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network", but there is nothing (that i have found so far) to enable this same feature for wired devices. I have a few devices that are wired that i would like to provide internet access only and not be able to talk to each other or any other device on the LAN, so effectively adding them to the Guest network. Please could you implement some advanced / extra options in the LAN Setup IP Address Reservation of static IP addresses? Maybe something like some tick boxes to enable : - Allow access to the internet - Allow access to other devices on the LAN This way it would be flexible enough to have devices on the router which can have only internet access, only LAN access or both internet and LAN. Maybe for those that need extra flexibility add the option to enable / disable internet / LAN access on a schedule. Thank you. Model : D6400 Firmware : V1.0.0.44_1.0.44
