system log: DHCP events not provided
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
unfortunately it is not possible to select the correct model and version via the pulldown menues (as not all models and versions are provided). I therefore provide the correct ones hereafter:
model: Archer C6
hardware version: Archer C6 v3.20
for to investigate on issues on a Wifi connection to a specific network element I need the DHCP message sequences on the Wifi-ITF of the router.
These events are currently not part of the system logs provided py the router.
How to activate the logging of the DHCP-events.

Based on the current firmware design, there are no DHCP logs on the router. Can I confirm why you need that? Is there an issue with the router?
If you want to check the devices connected to the router, you have multiple options, such as:
1. Go to Network Map > Clients, there you will see all the devices that are connected to the router;
2. Under Advanced > Security > IP & MAC Binding > ARP List, you will find all the devices also;
3. Under Advanced > Network > DHCP Server > DHCP Client List, here you can find all the clients that are getting IP addresses from the router via DHCP.

@Kevin_Z Hello Kevin, as I mentioned yet I'm investigating on an issue occuring on the Wifi-interface between the router and a network element connected to the router.
more concrete: from time to time (sporadic, not systematic) the network element is loosing the connection to the router and there is no automatic reconnection.
As you ask for a possible problem on the router: YES, I think, that the router is causing this issue, 'cause:
- the issue does not appear when I use a router of another brand (no tp-link) on the same position in the network
- the issue can be solved by doing a power cycle on t the router
what do you advice for to detect the root cause for this issue?

it is a pity, that dhcp-logs are not provided by the router. Is it planned to update the router sw for to priovide these logs? - when may I expect this update?
