Hello everybody
1. I have noticed that certain devices on my home network, when plugged into a LAN port (either directly in the router or in a TP link switch) are getting an IP address outside of the boundaries of the DHCP pool: eg 10.x.x.x vs 192.z.z.z.
What could be causing it?
2. The above devices, when connected via WiFi, are behaving as expected. I also notice that for some of these, when plugged by cable, both the wifi and ethernet interfaces are showing in the network map, with the same IP address but a distinct MAC. Only one MAC was used for the DHCP reservation...
Is there a way to tell the router to ignore one when the other is active, as I suspect a duplicated IP address would do no good to my setup?
Thanks for your help, and happy epiphany (as applicable).
