IP reset automatically to 169.254.92.76
I have one TPLINK router Archer C6. I am trying to use it as extender. I have assigned a static IP to it to be in the family network. It works OK most of the time. But sometimes (for example, the main router restarts) it behaves weird. Its IP reset to following:. Initially i have assign this to IP 192.168.1.2. I have tried working with reset the device and upgrading to latest available firmware also. But same issue persists. Please help to understand what is going wrong.
While configuring the router i have assigned a fix IP to LAN. Disabled DHCP and in System Paramters enabled 5Ghz WDS.
This is configuration when it works OK.
