hello, 

 

i have the following issue...

 

first explain my set up...

 

- Core router -  linked to TP link switch SG3210 - connected to 2 x TL108E

- synology server acting as DHCP server

 

 

i have 1 access point ( Cisco router in bridge mode ) on 1st floor (connected to 1st TL108E )

i have the RE450 on second floor (connected to 2nd TL108E )

 

i set the RE450 device up as followed

 

- access point mode ( cable to wifi )

- fix ip

- dhcp off

- wifi signal is set up the same as AP on 1st floor ( SSID / Channel / passw / encryption )

 

for some reason when connected to the RE450 i don't get an IP address.

so looks like it doesn't communicate with my DHCP server

and secondly on the status page the connexion status is " unknown "

 

when i "enable" DHCP on RE450 or set to "AUTO" it works...

 

but i don't want 2 dhcp devices in network for obvious reasons.

 

- troubleshooting already done...

 

--> reset to default

--> update firmware

--> i could test with dhcp on NAS disabled and on Core router ( DG ) enabled, but that is not a solution for me.

 

if someone could assist / come up with a solution that would be great :-)

 

Thanks in advance.
