DHCP constantly renewing XR500
Hi, Does anyone know why I am constantly seeing the DHCP new event/new lease? This happens multiple times per hour, everyday. I recently upgraded to firmware V2.3.2.134 which seemed to mostly re...
They do seem a little more frequent than we'd expect, I'd suggest following the steps in my last post and see if the disconnections stop after that.
Do you know what actually triggers these frequent events? I will try your suggestion
In theory, it's a genuine DHCP lease renewal. By default the lease time is (I believe) 12 hours, which means it'll re-negotiate a new lease every 6 hours.
Is there still some issue with this in the latest V2.3.2.134 firmware? I know I was reading about this issue with prior releases
In this firmware, the issue is drastically reduced. We've still heard some reports from users having issues with disconnections, though it's hard to tell if it's the same issue. We're working on this still so if you are still experiencing issues, rest assured it's going to improve further for the next firmware.
