steelrain-0725 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 I don’t have 50 devices on all at once. Can I list a device multiple times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I list a device multiple times? No don't list a device multiple times, it only needs one reservation - you don't need to give 50 reservations, that's just the range of IPs you can give to devices so they're out of the DHCP range. If you only have 10 devices then only do 10 reservations for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 So I put every device on a reserved ip address last night. And right now none of them have internet and are not connected to the router. What did the last firmware updates do. I’ve had this router for 4 years and now all of a sudden these issues. Please see the photo. My phone”Joshuaiphone” had a reserved address but will not connect tot he router. This is extremely frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 The network map shows I’m online. But obviously I’m not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 11, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2023 Reboot the router now, the devices may be having trouble switching over so a reboot of the router will force them to get the new IPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 I did that last night and it fixed it. But now this morning I’m having the same issue soMe of my wired connection devices are working but my Wi-Fi devices are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 Correction, last night after rebooting twice and the DHCP still not working I changed the DNS settings in “internet setup” from 8.8.8.8 to get automatically from isp and applied the settings and that immediately fixed the dhcp assigning issue. I just did a reboot again and my devices are not working still. So I’m going to change the DNS setting back to using 8.8.8.8 & 1.1.1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 So immediately after making this change back to dns I choose all my devices connected. The issue has to be due to some DNS issue or bug in the system. Bc if you remember in my previous post it wouldn’t let me change my IP address range until I changed the DNS settings to choose my own bc if I said get from ISP it said I had a conflict.

steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 I had to change the DNS again, this time I just put the same DNS settings as my att modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 11, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2023 I think changing the DNS is just restarting everything rather than being the specific cause, what is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to?

steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 Also why isn’t a reboot restarting everything but changing the DNS is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 11, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2023 On the BGW, set a static IP for the XR - the IP it's giving the XR at the moment will do, then set that in the DMZ/follow this guide for it: https://www.att.com/support/smallbusiness/article/smb-internet/KM1188700?source=ESSZ0SSPR00T1EsEM&wtExtndSource=20210301215930_AT%26T+Community+Forums__COMMUNITY_4532617858 then reboot the BGW, wait 2 minutes, then reboot the XR from the interface, not by pulling the power, wait 2 minutes and see if that works better.

steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 I already have this done? I have the modem set as ip pass through? The setting for the link you gave me do not apply to my model modem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 Question, if I set the XR up as a AP and use my other netgear nighthawk as my main router, will I still be able to use the duma gaming features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 11, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2023 Okay that's good, no you wouldn't be able to do that, I think at this stage it would be best to do a factory reset then make those reservation changes, reboot the router, wait 2 minutes then it should all work correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 the factory reset and and the reservation changes didn't fix anything. Same exact issues. I did another factory reset last night and just setup the router using the nighthawk app and let it do all he setup.. This morning, still getting the 169.xxx on some devices. I'm about to throw this POS against the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 13, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 13, 2023 It really doesn't make any sense, do you have static/reserved IPs set on the devices themselves at all? Do they have Private/Random MAC enabled if so disable those, that could be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 None of the above. In fact on my iPhone I reset all my network connections and joined as a new connection. This morning it would not assign me an ip address but some of my wired devices and other wifi devices (my wifes iphone and ipad) were getting ip addresses. My netgear AP had to be completely shutoff twice to get a ip address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 13, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 13, 2023 I'd suggest reupgrading the firmware using the TFTP method, this bypasses the boot process and any issues there then once done do a factory reset for the freshest install possible: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-from-the-Microsoft-Windows-Command-Prompt?article=000059634 then try please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 I will do this tonight when I get home & let you know Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrain-0725 Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Just an update, I couldn't complete the manual method. First issue is step #8 "Wait for the Power LED to light orange and start flashing" that never happens on my XR after reboot. It goes from constant orange to white. 2nd issue is the command prompt said it was an invalid prompt or something similar, I cant recall. I updated the XR back to the previous firmware. I want to see if the previous firmware gives me this same DHCP server not assigning ip address issue. I never had this issue until this latest firmware update. I will let you know the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
