Hello,

 

I have been searching to solve this problem for a week now. It seems this problem is common in all the Archer models.

In AP Mode, every around 30 seconds it sends a DHCP request to get an IP as shown below

 

2023-08-08 22:09:08 DHCPC INFO [5216] receive ack from server with ip 192.168.99.254, options(subnet=255.255.255.0;router=192.168.99.1;dns=9.9.9.9 8.8.4.4;lease=480;serverid=192.168.99.1;)

2023-08-08 22:09:08 DHCPC INFO [5216] send select request with options(cliid=01/48:22:54:29:6c:8c:;)

Router Mode everything works fine. Any suggestion?

This has been seen before on a different models in AP mode.

What is your DHCP setting ? If it's on 'Auto' then set it to 'OFF' and test again.

Check this story - there's no need to worry about these DHCP requests.

thank you for your support, but the topic you provided talks about smart DHCP which is not the case here. and I know that requesting an IP every 30 seconds will not affect the connectivity to the internet. I was checking it coz when I noticed that in the Mikrotik Router (the Main Router TP-Link AX55 is Connected to) I felt that there is something wrong, I switched AX55 to router mode it worked fine, so the bug here is in the AP mode. and none of my searches led me to an answer that works.

What about LAN IP address of the AX55 - is it set to Dynamic IP or a Static IP ?

If it's set to Dynamic IP then set it to a Static IP (192.168.99.254) and test again for these DHCP requests.

Actually only a TP-Link representative can confirm whether this being a bug or the feature I pointed to.
