XR700 Constant Issues with DHCP
Running the latest Firmware with the hotfix and still having issues with this router. It refuses to give out IP addresses after a reboot. Devices cant connect due to no IP given. If I set one static ...
Could you please provide as much detail as possible about the issue you're experiencing as well as any troubleshooting steps you've taken so far?
I tried every troubleshooting step and I really do believe this router can't handle so many devices connecting to it all at the same time. Only way to fix it is to slowly connect each device almost one by one. Ring security and cameras I notice connect and reconnect throughout the day may cause the router not to issue ip addresses. When this happens I cut the power to half of the house and slowly turn on each breaker so each device can connect segregated from each other.
I had to give a good reason to buy this router and it fails like this since day one. It is embarrassing cause I really thought this router was going to give me and my family power to game and stream. Also it seems to max out at 450gbps wireless on 5ghz connection when my isp is 1gig. This I made another post for but non of the troubleshooting steps are working.

- If the WiFi issue is still a problem let us know in that topic and we can continue - you didn't respond to my last message there. Create a guest WiFi network and see if the devices really struggling to connect can connect that way. If they can then assign them a reserved IP in LAN Settings then try connecting them to the normal WiFi.
- Yeah I did this and it still does it with guest and also reserved ips. It will work at first then out of nowhere some of the devices will not connect. So if I cut the power half of the house and wait 10 minutes then slowly cut the breakers on giving time between each fixes the issue everytime
- It sounds like too many devices all trying to make a connection at once causes it to slow down. How many devices do you have overall and what types of devices are they?
