Model: RE305   RE450   Archer VR2100  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: Latest firmware

I have a weird issue with my One Mesh setup consisting of VR2100, RE305 and RE450 so what happens is i have static ip addresses setup for both mesh nodes and clients. On my VR2100 my mesh nodes both the RE305 and 450 are setup with addresses 192.xxx.xxx.2 and 192.xxx.xxx.3 but in my VR2100 under wireless devices they will appear and disappear with ip address that have been assigned to other devices, When i select the One Mesh in menu both nodes show correct addresses in there but not under wireless devices on the basic main menu page.

 

I have updated firmware on all devices, tried resetting them back up multiple reboots both router and nodes to no avail as they keep appearing incorrectly please some assistance with this issue much appreciated. The network seems to function but having these nodes show up in the devices list with addresses that clearly do not belong to them keep appearing is frustrating...just as an example i have a device with IP 192.xxx.xxx.7 but the mesh node RE305 will also appear with the same IP in list.

  @FiGgS  The issue managed to resolve itself after some time both mesh nodes RE305 and RE450 now show the correct IP addresses along with the clients as well. Network is now the way i want it right now as its the backend consumer network off of my main SMB network, all working fantastic now.

 

Admin can now close this one off if they wish I was unable to find anywhere to close it.

 

Thanks.

If you're comparing MAC addresses under wireless devices in your VR2100 this could be due to the fact that RE305 works in Proxy mode and RE450 works in Universal mode - check this article for more details on that matter, although when EasyMesh/OneMesh is enabled, the extender will not edit the real MAC address on the clients. They will show up with their real MAC addresses in the online client list on both the extender and the host router - details.
