Comp0za Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hi! I'm having this DHCP issue twice now. It seems that reserving the IP adress, and change to .50 doesn't work in long term. Before this issue started to occure, which previous firmwares didn't have this issue? I don't want to refund this router, I really do love the router, but the DHCP issues is a real router breaking bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 12, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2022 Testing my memory here but you could try .40 or .32, I don't seem to recall the issue on those specifically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are telling me that .50 was the wrong one all the time???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comp0za Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Oh, okey, sorry about that. But is it safe to revert, considering the latest security fixes isn't in the previous firmwares?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of downgrading its fine but regarding the security fixes I can't indicate either way really, that's up to you if you're willing to risk it.

Oki. Mean while, I have disabled DHCP instead and manually put internet connection to all my devices. Hopefully, this will resolve the issue.

Comp0za Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 soo far, I haven't experienced disconnection. But I have one question. The Logs seems to reset withing 12 hours, or maybe 24 hours, (you could correct me), so I wonder why it does like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it only occurs after a reboot, does the uptime reset after the log resets as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 29, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2022 I can't see anything internally about this, it may be something on the NG side - does it also clear in the logs in Settings? It may be clearing out automatically to preserve memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The better strategy for this is actually keeping DHCP active next to your fixed pool. Ie I have fixed IP's for everything that is fixed like PC's and so on. But you want a small range for devices that cannot set fixed IP's or guests etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just means the fixed adresses you assign. Say for instance you have the following: DHCP: 192.168.1.20-49 Fixed: PC's: 192.168.1.100-109 Servers: 192.168.1.110-119 Media devices: 192.168.1.120-129 IoT: 192.168.1.130-159 If you are using fixed adresses you have to keep track of what you put where to avoid internal conflicts. That's why a small DHCP pool for temporary devices is handy. Also nowadays some devices especially IoT will come without the option to set a fixed IP so you will have to do that through your router's DHCP reservation function.

Comp0za Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yes, disabling the DHCP and assigning IP adress, submask, dns and gateway to each devices, has resolved the issue, it's tottaly gone now! No internet disconnetion since then. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
