ER605 OC200 WAN Static IP can not be set if prior used
ER605 OC200 WAN Static IP can not be set if prior used
Hi,
Bug: When a static IP address once was set for a WAN, this IP can not be used on any other WAN port in future as static IP (it can as dynamic one though), even if the WAN port on which the address was originally used, was set back to dynamic IP address, uses a different IP address or even if the original WAN port which used that static IP is completely deactivated.
Scenario: switching a WAN Internet connection with fixed IP address from WAN/LAN 1 to the main WAN port or to WAN/LAN 2. Even if WAN/LAN 1 is set to dynamic IP and is disconnected or turned off, there will always be the error message: "The IP range you set for the WAN port conflicts with the IP range of the other WAN port." even though all other WAN ports now use a different IP address or even if all other WAN ports are deactivated.
I am using OC200, 5.14.26.23, 1.31.3 Build 20240620 Rel.80383
Problem: it seems once an IP address for a WAN connection has ben set to static, this IP address seems to be blocked forever. Not sure if there are underlying conditions that lead to the issue (like when exactly the cable has been switched or whatever).
What I tried, but unsuccessfully: Factory reset of the ER605, did not change anything, after adopting it was the same; turning on the original WAN/LAN 1 again and connect it again with the original modem - even then when you try to set a static IP again, you get the same error message (my thinknig was, I setup the original configuration, change the IP address, press disconnect and then set the static IP address on the other WAN port). Turning on WAN/LAN 2 and tried to set the static IP there, even then it was not possible.

@Clive_A I did not find a calm time yet to adopt the router to a new site, will try on the weekend.
However, if it is a config problem (seemingly a bug somewhere then), how would that be resolved? Is there any way to resolve such a error in the config without setting up everything completly from scratch?

Hi @Marc3485
Thanks for posting in our business forum.

You can keep a backup of your problem. We can probably use it in the future.
Usually, it is a config issue as I have discussed with the test team members earlier over your reported issue. Somewhere in your config is not proper or you've changed something that corrupts it.
If this is resolved and cannot be reproduced on your new site, then it is not a router issue or controller. It should be something corrupted/misconfigured. We'll see at that time. We will make moves accordingly.

Hi,
Has a solution been found for this bug? Because it is very restrictive.
I encounter the same problem with a controller software 5.15.8.2 and my ER7206 v2.0, it is impossible to select the type of static connection that I validate, I get the error message: "The IP range you set for the WAN port conflicts with the IP range"
Until now I was connecting to my operator box via the WAN port, I now use the SFP WAN port (the WAN port is unwired)
I'm having problems with DHCP leases with unwanted IP address assignments (several per minute for the same client) and I would like to switch to static IP at the WAN level to stabilize all that.

@Thomas777 For me it has never fixed since i wrote the message.
I'm back at Ubiquiti (Unifi) after 2 years usage with TP Link...
Unifi is working... Well, very, very a lot better.
Support of unifi is faster and better and the wi-fi 6 has a much greater output then the wifi 6 of tp link.
I was using:
and our maximum output was 300/350/450, but now in Unifi it is 800+.
Sorry TP Link, but you have to take our complaints seriously we walk into.

@Thomas777 I just tried, it is still the same issue. Our ISP delivered a stable connection the last months, so it was not of an issue for us anymore to put a manual setting.
However, @Clive_A I also think it is inacceptable that TP-Link does not address this issue, now as several users reported it (and many will have the same problem without reporting it). This is simply not accepatable.
Running 2.2.6 Build 20240718 Rel.82712 on the ER605 v2 right now.

It's crazy to leave these customers without a solution. I'm a Tp Link partner and support keeps me going round in circles, even though I've already provided all the information, they manage to ask me again and once they've understood that the configuration was right and that the problem is theirs, strangely enough, there's no response.
