DHCP and WIFI Problems


Recommended Posts

@Netduma Fraser

If you change the DHCP range from .100 to .111 (11 devices) and assign fixed IPs to all devices, the wifi does not connect to the devices. If I go back to the DHCP range of .100 to .250 everything works. Fix this bug. I use firmware 4.0.41

Are you assigning the IPs within the DHCP range or outside?      Yes

Did you restart the WiFi devices?   Yes

The problem is that if you change the DHCP range from 192.168.77.250 to 192.168.77.111 the wifi devices do not connect except the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone. By re-entering 192.168.77.250 as the maximum range, all WiFi devices work.

@Netduma Fraser

Yes.

It's a firmware bug that if you leave the DHCP range as default, all wifi and LAN devices work (forgot). If I change from .250 to .111, the wifi devices (except the smartphone which is always in the IP range) and LAN do not connect. Solve it. How long does it take for the new firmware with Hybrid VPN? Do you already have firmware to install? Thank you.

"Are you assigning the IPs within the DHCP range or outside?" A yes response doesn't help, which one specifically? Then we can try to reproduce it. 

It won't be much longer for a HybridVPN firmware - it'll be the next one.

@Netduma Fraser

Yes, the IP addresses are within the DHCP RANGE.

Why don't you try it the other way round? Your subnet probably looks like this. The IP address of the router is the following address, i.e. 192.168.77.1. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 by default.

The default DHCP range is, I believe, from 77.100-77.250

If you are working with DHCP reservations, why don't you just use the IPs 77.10-77.21 for your 11 devices? DHCP reservations do not have to be in the DHCP range for them to work!

And sorry, what you describe doesn't sound like a bug in the firmware, but rather like a user who doesn't know what he's doing
