MotFPS Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 I've owned the XR1000 for about 24hours now. Currently, the XR1000 is the only DHCP server on the network. I am using static dynamic reservations. Posting screenshots of the settings. Problem: Multiple devices are being given the same IP address. Highlighted in the screenshot. Expected behavior: Only a single IP would be issued to a single MAC address accounting for reservations.
MotFPS Posted December 26, 2020 Author Posted December 26, 2020 As you can see the IP 192.168.1.3 is issued to 3 separate devices and is not on my reservation list.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 27, 2020 Administrators Posted December 27, 2020 I imagine that for most of those it could be the same device that has been connected via ethernet and also WiFi at some point and so has been given the same IP address. Regarding the other one I'm assuming the device isn't actually online otherwise there would be a conflict, then when the lease renews and if both devices were connected one would be given another.
MotFPS Posted December 27, 2020 Author Posted December 27, 2020 Looking at the first 3 MAC addresses that have the same IP of 192.168.1.3, all 3 are different devices. From Wiresharks OUI lookup tool 00:0E:00 Atrie 00:22:15 ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. F0:F0:A4 Amazon Technologies Inc. Additionally, for the two addresses that share the IP of 192.168.1.8, they are also two separate devices 00:0C:29 VMware, Inc. 18:B4:30 Nest Labs Inc. Quote I'm assuming the device isn't actually online otherwise there would be a conflict, then when the lease renews and if both devices were connected one would be given another The DHCP server and the XR1000 has only been online for 24hrs at the time off the screenshots. The leases given to the first MAC addresses are still valid (within the 24hr period) Essentially, if they're online or offline the lease is still valid and the DHCP server is issuing used IPs redundantly. Specifically, even if one of the devices were offline it still has a valid lease thus a DHCP server would not be reissuing the same IP again while there is a valid lease ongoing. This is most certainly a bug and a problem.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 27, 2020 Administrators Posted December 27, 2020 Do you recognize all the devices it shows there? Are they all shown on the Device Manager? I'll pass it onto NG to look at.
MotFPS Posted December 27, 2020 Author Posted December 27, 2020 I do recognize them. 00:0E:00 is one of my cameras. It's wired. 00:22:15 is my pihole server and the F0:F0:A4 is my daughter's tablet. All 3 were on and not able to communicate on the network, IP conflicts. Note: I edited the screenshot to only show the top 3 MAC addresses. Also, I've disabled the DHCP server and stood up a Linux system to host DHCP for now.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 28, 2020 Administrators Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks for the information, glad you've got a workaround for the moment. I have passed it onto the team.

I have been having lots of DHCP issues and been looking for a standalone solution that is not too expensive to implement.

MotFPS Posted January 22, 2021 Author Posted January 22, 2021 @Netduma Fraser I know you're busy I see you're active on here a lot which I'm very thankful for. Any update on this bug?

UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 What is the latest status on the DHCP bugs for the Netgear products? Are the fixes for the XR500 working or are they still working to correct the problems? What is the status on the next XR700 beta release?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 9, 2021 Administrators Posted March 9, 2021 Some are still having it on the 500 so I believe they're still investigating that. I don't have any more news on the 700 beta at the moment but they're working on it.

Sorry to hear that. NG are investigating and will provide a fix as soon as they're able to. In the meantime if you have a modem/router give the XR a static IP and on the XR give devices reserved IPs if possible.
