Hi everyone,

 

For a few years now I've been having this constant issue every power outages, planned reboot, and firmware updates. Once the Deco reboots and get back online my LAN IP and DHCP address distribution changes from 192.168.68.X to 192.168.0.X to 192.168.1.X, and every time it does so my NAS and smart devices stop working. After reading a few threads on this issue it does not seam like any solutions have been provided effective. 

 

As context, here is my current setup;

 

Main Deco;

- ISP Link (POE Injector) (Provider: Xplore (Issues private addresses 192.168.201.X)

- Tp-Link Unmanaged Switch

 

Tp-Link Unmanaged Switch;

-Smart TV

-NAS (Static Address)

-Mini Server (Static Address) (DNS)

-PC1

-PC2

-CCTV DVR1

-CCTV DVR2

-TP Link Power Extender (Ehernet over Home power Grid)

 

Secondary Deco;

No Wired Connection

Wi-Fi Only

 

 

I've notices that when the Main Deco reboots the light remain RED until I unplugged the Switch for a few seconds until it turns GREEN and I can reconnect the switch, I'm assuming since the ISP is issuing a Private IP address, the Deco does not know what LAN IP to use anymore.

 

The only thing that comes to mind as of now would be to set my LAN IP to 172.16.4.0 with a MASK of 255.255.255.0 to hopefully always keep the same LAN IP after each reboot. any pointers or suggestions to this possible solution?

 

Chers & Thank you in advance,
