Model: EAP670

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.0.6

I never setup this Fallback IP address setting so just curious where does this come from on setup? FWIW I was setting up TP Link hardware (router, switch, EAP) but then ended up ditching the hardware and only using the EAP with windows software controller for now. However I hard reset the EAP when I switched to the software controller so not sure how a 192.168.0.X address would save here? I'm on 192.168.1.X.

The only reason I noticed this today is ever since I switched back to software controller the other day our WiFi keeps dropping at least once a day for about 1 minute. I have since disabled this. Not even sure if this is why my WiFi keeps dropping for short periods of time. Before I tried swapping to hardware this weekend this software controller has been just fine, now this disconnecting issue.

Hi @Chad711

Fallback IP only takes effect when the EAP cannot receive IP from DHCP server.

About 192.168.0.254, it's designed to be that IP by default. It's not coming from anywhere.

@Chad711

in tplink world, their network falls in 192.168.0.1/24

you have the default vlan, vlan 1. well you don't need to worry about this.

why? you can set a static IP in this subnet and connect pc to eap directly. you can use that fallback ip to access it.
