    I recommend that you leave the DHCP IP address pool range set to a smaller range. You don't have to use the default range. I personally never use the factory range on any NG router. Also this provides room for static IP addressed devices as well. I use .100 to .150 as I only have around 30 devices. Plenty of room for additional devices if and when that happens. 

     

    We hope so, however don't have that info.

Did you factory reset the router and setup from scratch? I'm not seeing the DHCP issue on my XR450 and i'm using default DHCP IP address range.

Hi everyone just updated to the newest firmware and as mentioned it is still very buggy and has the DHCP issue. Can everyone recommend from their experience what is the most stable version of previous firmware that is useable please? 

 

Thanks in advance
