Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Hi all,

I also started getting the same dhcp lease renewal issue. Im using version 134. I have been using it for years but the past few weeks the router started having this issue.

I tried setting up the max dhcp value to 100 and also reserved ips for my devices. It worked for a week and started again.

Please help

    Hi Fraser,

    Yes i did that and the router seem to be working fine for now. I flashed version 114 using tftp, did factory rest and then upgraded to 134.

    Thanks for the usual support.

  • Try setting DHCP range from .100 to .200?

     

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

     

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

        Disable DHCP entirely (make sure you've reserved all the IPs) and then it should be better
