RE700X and DHCP
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
The DHCP server is "Off" in the extender's configuration. In reviewing the extender's logs, I see that the RE700X is obtaining its IP address every hour from the main router. The lease time on the router is set to 480 minutes (8 hours). Some network devices (from what I've read) will request a DHCP renewal as early as half way through the lease period. So I could perhaps understand at 4 hours the RE700X might try to renew its IP. But every hour?
Is this normal or is it perhaps a firmware bug? Of course it does not affect network operation but it does fill up the system log with a lot of entries.
Hi, could you please check the DHCP Client list on your router and check the remaining lease time? for example, here is the DHCP Client list for TP-Link router:
If possible, you may check it after the extender renews its IP address to see the remaining lease time is near 8 hours or near 1 hour.
In addition, please also check if any other client devices have similar issue when connected to your router.
Hello, thanks for the reply.
Upon checking, the extender is designed to refresh its IP address every one hour, to avoid this issue, you could try to configure the extender as static IP address on the extender itself:
