XR700 Random Wifi Disconnections

Ive had my XR700 for a couple of weeks and followed the setup wizards and updated to the latest firmware but i started getting random wifi problems where every wifi device would be disconnected at the same time. in the logs it would give something like this

 

[DumaOS] DHCP lease change., Monday, December 31, 2018 10:43:35
[DumaOS] DHCP new event., Monday, December 31, 2018 10:43:35
[DHCP IP: 192.168.1.127][Device Name: CHROMECAST] to MAC address f4:f5:d8:e0:20:1c, Monday, December 31, 2018 10:43:34

I reset the router many times and then flashes the older .20 firmware and factory reset it. its still doing it and i cannot work out why. I cannot contact support directly so thought i would ask here before i get a refund on a faulty device.

 

Thanks

  • It sounds like the DHCP Lease renewal is causing the disconnect when a device gets a new IP address. Set static IPs/reservations in LAN Settings for the WiFi devices. Does that resolve it?
