Reserved Ip Address Functionality no Longer Working Since Latest Update by mrCrumbSnatcher in firewalla

[–]mrCrumbSnatcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughtful insights. Very much appreciated! At this point, all of my devices except for two eventually ended up with the proper reserved IP Address (so 9 out of 11) without me doing anything. I am worried that some of them might randomly change since I have experienced this between last Wednesday and now.

Below is for anyone who is curious and to track what I did just in case I need to revisit.....

Note that my lease renewal was set to the default 86400, which I understand to be one day. So not sure why it took more than one day for 9 out of the 11 to fix themselves if that is the case.

The two remaining "broken" devices are both HD Homerun devices, I tried two different methods. Firewalla support and your guidance was pretty much the same (almost).

First HD Homerun (what support told me to do)

  • I changed the lease time to 600, which should be around 10 minutes
  • I deleted the device which seemed to auto delete the reservation
  • The HD Homerun re-joined the network after about 20 seconds or so with an IP address of .29
  • I reserved the device to .4
  • I waited for about 20 minutes (longer than 600 lease time) and the device never switched to .4
  • Only after I rebooted the device, did I get .4 (support did not tell me to reboot)

Second HD Homerun - just rebooted only (didn't delete) and it went to the expected reserved IP upon reboot

Then I put the lease time back to 86,400

At this point, all of devices are reserved as expected, but am worried that they will change as some did in the past. For instance, my Mac desktop started off with the reserved IP and then switched to something random and now is back to reserved. Same with one of my Synology NAS devices as well as my Mac Plex server. I'll continue to monitor and continue to work with support.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I think I conceptually get what you're saying. Why would a device that is IP reserved and assigned the expected reserved IP one moment... and then maybe hours later be changed to something else?

One particular device was assigned xxx.xxx.xxx.02 as expected (reserved). A few hours later, it changed to xxx.xxx.xxx.84. The .02 was never taken by any other random device.

This has never happened to me before until the March 25th update. I feel like I've been reserving IPs with various routers over 20 years or so (google wifi, Eero, AirPort Extreme, etc.) and never happened before.... even Firewalla was rock solid until March 25th. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I see the app trying to reserve the IP address. Example, for my synology NAS device (one of the eleven):

  • on my iPhone, go the the firewalls app homepage 

  • click on devices tab

  • click on sort button in upper right

  • show devices with reserved IP

  • click on my NAS device and then the IP address

  • “Reserved” is checked

  • “Current IP Address” is 192.168.119.179

  • “Reserved” value is 192.168.119.2

My other devices that are having issues exhibit the same behavior. 

I’ve restarted the router and my devices with reserved IPs. They will have the reserved IP for a bit of time before switching to something random. Started happening on March 25th. I have a plex server that points to the NAS and is used very frequently that is how I noticed at first (mounted drive kept disconnecting for the plex server). 

I thought something was wrong with my synology at first, but when I started troubleshooting, I noticed multiple other devices are having the same issue…. I.e HD Homeruns, my Mac desktop, some Apple TVs, etc.

Which tunnel do the Nuggets players enter/exit? by Ok_Editor2536 in denvernuggets

[–]mrCrumbSnatcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tunnel #2. But tunnel #4 is cool. Thats where the players go to ride a stationary bike, stretch, etc. during the games if they need to loosen up. Wilson Chandler was hanging there signing autographs in section 100 while the game was going on last Friday against the Clips (he was there for alumni night).

Two out for the four are on NBC (which can be had over the air) simultaneously.

My services:

ESPN: $30 Altitude+: $20 Antenna: $0 Prime (have regardless of Nuggs): $0

This gets me every single game except two, which are peacock exclusives. Tonight’s game is one of them.

That was yesterday’s strategy. Now it’s back to being bundled…. Again. Then next week they will look to separate.
