Deco S7 - 3 unit - DHCP
Thursday
Model: Deco S7  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.1

Deco S7 hardware V1 software downgraded from 1.4.5 to 1.4.1. South Africa. 
All WiFi backhaul but problem persists with only one device connected. Devices connected in router mode with 2 meshes. 
 

DHCP pool not working. Devices can't connect-apple, Hisense tv, iot cameras, etc. keep having to reboot network. Only Sonos seems to get an IP. 
 

Beam forming on. Problem persist with 5g&2.4g, 5g, 2.4g (either or). 
 

Guest network is not on. 
 

Have just bought the devices and am extremely disappointed by this. Upgraded the firmware and then shortly downgraded it again as per the forums-no dice. 
 

have to continually reboot the system and hope more devices manage to get an IP from the DHCP server. 
 

Apple iPhone 15 pro can't get a dhcp, settings on static and reserved on deco, and the other way -pure automatic DHCP. Can see the iPhone gets stuck in the 169. range indefinitely-same on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. 
 

Have never been able to connect more than 7 IPs of all devices.
 
If not resolvable will be returning units in the next week for a complete refund. They simply do not work. Pointless to have WiFi coverage and no availability for an IP to actually use the internet.

Hi, welcome to our community.

It is suggested to upgrade firmware to latest 1.5.2 via the web UI of your Deco network following this guide, according to the official website.

If it is remains the same problem, please share the information below for our further analysis.

1. What is your exact network topology? How many client devices do you have totally?

2. Please share the screenshot of the DHCP Server settings on Deco app

3. Please change DNS into 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 for a try. You may refer to this guide.

Thanks for your cooperation! If you have additional details, please feel free to share here.

Latest version available in South Africa is 1.4.5. Already had the DNSs set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Right now on 1.4.1 it can't connect more than three devices. Have one Deco s7 as router and the other two as extenders in a tree formation. Nothing you have suggested has anything to do with the core problem-your DHCP server doesn't work-changing a DNS is not going into have any impact.
