I have the Hopper at home and use a Mikrotik router with a Ubiquiti RocketM5 feed coming in, and 2 UniFi AP's inside.
I do see multiple DHCP leases on the Mikrotik router from the Hopper system. This is because the Hopper kit also has "Joey's", which are the sub-boxes located in other rooms. Each device appears on the network and receives it's own IP. In my case I have them plugged in using Ethernet so they all get an IP and use Ethernet to stream the content between them. I think you would also see this if the Joey's are connected using coax as well because since the coax runs Ethernet using MoCA or whatever protocol it is these days. In the case you describe I'm wondering if that Hopper kit is set up using the coax to connect to the Joey units, and the Hopper is the "gateway" for them to the Ethernet network.

One of them was having real weird issues with his connection at his home/office using a ubnt router when everything looked good. I sent him a Tik router and 2 unifi APs to clean up his mess of wifi gear. Everything was working good then went to hell. I logged into his router and could see his Hopper MAC address pulling several addresses under ARP. He didn’t want to trouble shoot so he just unplugged the hopper. A different partner who has always used a tik called me yesterday and his router was down. This has happened a few times over the last month. He did a reboot and came back up. While looking at his arp table I noticed the same arp issue with his hopper. I had a customer call today using ubnt router. He said he was connected but no internet. Radio looked good. Logged into router and I could see he had a Hopper as well. I did a remote reboot and it cleared up. I don’t have Sat TV so I have never seen a Hopper. Almost looks like WDS issue. On the ubnt router of course the arp table is not as active on tik so I don’t know if it was doing the same thing. Would DHCP reservation help, on the tik, or is there something else I should be looking for on the Hopper?
