Disconnect on New DHCP Lease Allocation (Ethernet)
So this issue has been going on for literally since I bought this router, 8 months ago. Every single time my router needs to allocate a new DHCP lease, which for some reason is every 24 hours because...
Hi yksi, sorry to hear you're having this issue. I have PM'd you with a beta firmware to try. Please see if this resolves your issue.
So it worked for a week or so and just now I disconnected again on the DHCP new lease... not sure what else I can do about it
I had the same issue. I ended up returning the router. The basic function of a router is to share an internet connection and allocate IP addresses. When it can't even do that correctly, there is an issue. I wanted to like this router, it has some awesome features. But until these DHCP features are solved, I wouldn't recommend this router. I went and hooked my R8000 back up.
Whats your IP address pool size set for?
Try setting it for 192.168.1.100 to .200.
Have you set up any IP address reservations for your devices?

I'll give that a try.
I haven't tried reserving IPs - didn't know you could do that; I thought making a static IP was the same thing. I'll do that too.
Setting IP address reservations is done ON the router. Static IP addresses are set ON devices. These need to be out side of the routers default IP address pool however.
