DHCP server function issue with AX23 in access point mode

2 weeks ago

Model: Archer AX23

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.0.2 Build 20240429 Rel. 37782(4A50)

I am using Archer AX23 in access point mode (static IP: 192.168.0.254) and have configured the DHCP server function on my main router (AtermBL1000). Even when I turn off the DHCP server function on the AX23, it still responds to DHCP requests with the wrong IP (192.168.2.xxx, etc.).

Even when I turn it on and set the IP Address Pool to 192.168.0.64-192.168.0.95, it still responds with the wrong IP.

DHCP requests are the same from both LAN and WiFi.

If I disconnect the AX23 from the LAN, the DHCP server on the main router works normally.

If I set a static IP to the device, it works normally.

The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway and primary DNS are 192.168.0.1.

I purchased the AX23 in September 2025. Is this a manufacturing defect?

hi, i also encountered active dhcp on the router in access point mode, you can read about it here

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/697572?replyId=1436168

but so far even official representatives in technical support have not really offered anything as a solution to the problem

@Godlike66

Thank you for your reply.
I learned that the problem with TP-Link's DHCP server is also occurring with other models and has not yet been resolved.

The fact that the firmware version of your router (1.13.6 Build 240430) and my router's version (1.0.2 Build 20240429) are close in date may also be related to this problem.

It became clear that this was not just a manufacturing defect in my AX23 router.

All we can do is wait for TP-Link to understand the firmware issue and come up with a solution.

Until then, I will assign static IP addresses to 80 devices.
