Tags: #Access Point Mode

Model: Archer A7

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20220714 rel.75573(5553)

I configured my A7 in access point mode and then noticed it was obtaining a DHCP ip address from the main router WAY too often. So, then went into LAN settings and assigned a static ip address. But the A7 is STILL performing a DHCP way too often. Seems like a bug to me:

@duckware

I saw in other threads others mentioned they can solve this issue by assigning a static IP address for the router. You can check this thread.

Have you turned off the DHCP Server? Try changing it from Auto to Off, then confirm again.

@Liverpool20 , yes, my original post stated I was using static ip address, and tp-link was STILL performing DHCP.

I solved to switching to a different vendor for that access point.
