I just noticed this in my syslog for the first time ever. I only set up 1 DHCP range, but the log is showing 3. I did add a new WiFi DHCP node today. The 3rd range below is my "real" one.

Is this normal or did I mess something up?

Feb 20 16:10:02 dnsmasq-dhcp[1969]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.102.2 -- 192.168.102.254, lease time 1d
Feb 20 16:10:02 dnsmasq-dhcp[1969]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.101.2 -- 192.168.101.254, lease time 1d
Feb 20 16:10:02 dnsmasq-dhcp[1969]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.1.100 -- 192.168.1.199, lease time 1d
 
Edit - Extra DHCP ranges appear when you enable guest networks. Can't remember if its GN1, GN2 and/or GN3... but in short they are for the guest networks.

IIRC It's GN1 only because you can enable Mesh roaming sync for GN1 and that makes it special.
 
That makes sense, but the oddity is that my router's WiFi is disabled and I do all WiFi, including guest network, through an Orbi RBR50 used as the primary access point. Somehow the Asus router is seeing the Orbi's guest network? Interesting.
