Model: OC200   ER707-M2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.32.6 Build 20241101 Rel.41525

As you can clearly see in my first pic, assigning MAC based IPs in OC200 with the ER707-M2 v1.20 router is definetly hit and miss. I have a very basic network and most clients do get the expected IP - all ethernet wired, all same and only (main)VLAN. But this device (my 3d printer) has had enough with the assigned IP and decided to go for another one. I tried to reset/release/renew/refresh 100 times to no avail. Tried to delete and readd, tried to erase from known devices, I think I tried everything. My MAC is correct. DHCP enabled on printer. DHCP pool includes my "to be" reservation. No MAC IP binding. Apparently other folks have shared my frustration but I think it got solved with a FW update eventually, However, I am on last update both on my OC200 and my ER707. So if any more technically enclined than me feel to chip in, I would very much appreciate it. Better yet, if any TPLink tech has a solution to my problem, I am all ears - well, eyes.Please help.

I have a stupid question but have you turned off the power to the printer, I almost assume you have tried that but I'm asking

Any input welcome. This is such a basic feature that even the cheapest consumer toy routers get right. Mind you, we are talking top of the line, enterprise products. Absolutely mind blowing. But sorry, got carried away. Indeed I power cycled many times both the culprit and the victim.

 Hi @ArttVandelay 

 

Is the printer the only client that couldn't get the correct IP address?

Did you try to update the driver of the printer?

Please also tell us the model number of the printer.

  @Vincent-TP Unfortunately it is not. The printer is a Neptune 4 Pro but that is irrelevant as many clients get erroneous IP (not the reserved/intended one). Below is a screenshot of a Tuya relay that is wireless, for instance. Also, they don't seem to keep the same IP anyway, it gets refreshed with another one on a random basis, but not with the reserved one (that one simply won't stick). So the fault is definitely not on the client side. There are no other DHCP capable devices in the LAN, by the way, so no conflict.

I have the same problem with some equipment after replacing ER7206 router with ER707-M2.

  @Andrewspan I wonder if this might be a FW problem with it being a new model and all.

 

Nevertheless, this is inexcusable, these are meant to be deployed in enterprise environments for crying out loud, where dependability is of the essence. And we are talking some really basic features, not some crazy routing schemes or whatever.
