Updated: Smart DHCP on/off option under Access Point mode
Hi, nice to see you again.
The beta firmware mentioned in the other post is not suitable for you since you have updated the firmware to be 1.5.0 while the beta is still on 1.4.3.
So I would like to forward your case to the senior engineers for more advice.
May I know the model number of the mikrotik router?
Could you please send me a picture of your network topology?
When Deco M4 started assigning IP addresses, what is the LED light on the Deco?
By the way, what is the LAN IP range of mikrotik router?
Thank you very much.

This is still broken as I have a functional DHCP server in my network and "Smart" DHCP refuses to remain disabled. It is causing my network to be practically unusable because it keeps stepping over my real DHCP server. For this product to be useable for those of us who run a real DHCP server (there's a ton of us, clearly) this feature needs to have an option to completely disable. I don't want it to ever come on unless I turn it on, why is that such an impossible concept for the developers to grasp?? Just let me turn it off, and while you're at it, let me set whatever WiFi channel that I want to use! I paid $500 for a WiFi system that I expect to be able to use. It is unusable. That price point comes with a certain expectation of control, and the power users currently have zero control.
I have two x90's at the latest firmware in AP mode. Just want DHCP disabled indefinitely and the ability to select my WiFi channels. My DHCP server is serving a limited scope of IP's to my network, leaving about half of the range for static IP's. I suspect perhaps this is why "Smart" DHCP is failing at its job. Maybe it doesn't play well with limited DHCP scopes in the environment? Whatever the case, the correct resolution would be to remove the "smart" feature and just leave it off if the user turns it off. It really is maddening!!
