That's the only thing I haven't tried is reloading the firmware. It hasn't caused an issue I just find it odd certain devices are changing IP every time on a reboot or cold start. I may try the reloading of the firmware. I added all my devices to IP reservation and it stopped. If an issue starts I may troubleshoot in more dept with ya'll. I'll try a firmware reload and if the issue persists I'll do IP reservation and call it a day. I'll post an update after I do a firmware reload and reset. Thanks!

The two desktop computers are connected directly into ports 1 and 2 of the router.

So far doing the IP Address Reservation in the router keeps the IP's from going crazy. I went ahead an added all my devices to that (20 something). When I go back to automatic it goes crazy again. Doesn't matter if it's just one device or all 20, but only seems to happen to computers and nothing else. My Xbox, for example, keeps the correct IP no matter what, same with my iPhone, Smart TV's etc. So weird. So looks like the only fix right now for me is IP Address Reservation. I have no clue what is causing automatic to be doing that. NetDuma Admins feel free to chime in. I have no problem troubleshooting to help find a fix. I'll keep an eye on it and make sure the IP Address Reservation keeps working. Thanks! -DJ

I'll try that now and report back.

It happens on 2 dell laptops and 2 desktop pcs. At least those are the devices i can reproduce it on. Both laptops are wireless and the desktops are hard wired. All i have to do is reboot and they’ll pull 2 ip address at the same time in device manager and then after a minute or so the old ip is dropped and it stays with the new ip untill the next reboot or i turn it off. Then the same thing. Rinse and repeat. A little while ago i reset the router to factory settings and only used one desktop pc wih nothing else connected to the router. Same thing would happen. For troubleshooting i plugged my old asus router back in and it works normally. Same ip address for each device no matter if i turn the device off or reboot it. Same laptops and pcs. I’m replying on my phone so i hope i typed that all correctly

Good to hear. I can definitely reproduce it for them. I just reset it to factory default again and connected nothing but one desktop PC with the same result. Thanks for your input. I'll keep an eye out for their response.

Okay, I will wait to hear from them. Same thing with the other computers. Reboot and it has two IPs. One goes away after a couple of minutes and it keeps the new one. Rinse and repeat haha. X_X

Here's an example of me turning the laptop off for a couple of minutes. When it comes back on it has 2 IP's and then after a little bit one goes away and the one it is using stays. Same thing with the other computers. I am running AVAST security on every PC with the AVAST Firewall. I have reset the router back to factory once and re-did the setup. Same results.

All of them are on Windows 10. Two custom built PCs and two Dell Laptops. The PC's are hard-wired and the laptops are wireless 2.4ghz.

Yes, I am on the latest OS. No worries thanks for the help. I'll wait for some other suggestions. It's weird that it only seems to happen on computers and not my other devices (phone, tablet, smart tv all seem to keep the same IP even after I reboot them).

Thanks for the response. All I have is a Motorola MB8600 DOCSIS 3.1 modem and the XR500. The modem has no options to change and the XR500 is basically on default settings. I haven't changed any options other than doing the initial setup.

I bought this Netgear router yesterday. I love the NetDuma OS so far. I am coming from an ASUS AC88U which I have used for a couple of years. One question that I have is this. Every time I reboot my desktop PC it has a new IP address. Example. It started at XXX.XXX.X.4 and now it's gotten up to XXX.XX.X.32 this happens on both just a reboot of the computer and if I turn it off for any length of time. My laptop will keep the same IP on reboots, but if I turn it off for say 5 min (to let it leave the online device manager and say offline) and then turn it back on it will have a different IP. My iPhone, iPad, and Xbox One, if I turn them off and leave them off till they leave the device manager and then turn them back on keep the original IP address. Is this normal? The only reason I ask is because the IP address on all my devices when using the ASUS router never changed in the couple of years that I used that device. They don't need to be static and I'm not seeing any issues it's just different than what I'm used to so wanted to see if that's a feature or if something isn't set up right. Thanks in advance!
