AP mode DHCP from router not displaying IP

I'm upgrading from the RBR50 (AC3000) to the RBR750 (AX4200). In both cases, I want the Orbi in AP mode and I reserve an IP address for it on the router that is serving up DHCP. On the RBR50, the LAN...

Seems to be a bug for sure. Mostly an inconvenience and innocuous. 

I'll check my systems out as well.

I'll pass this on to NG for review.

Thanks. I basically came to the same conclusion but wanted to make sure I wasn't simply missing something.

    Ok this was actually posted about back around 9/12 range. Unfortunately, I can't get to the post now as it's been buried after NG moved the CBR750 community posts all into this forum. đŸ˜  Dumping the post caused all the current running posts in this forum to get pushed WAY down the ladder. So 9/12 range is pages and pages down and no idea where it's at. 

    This only effects the 7 and 8 series. 9 series is working. 

     

    I bug was filled for this issue already and NG should be in the know of it. Hopefully fixed on next FW update.

    I also observe this bug on my RBR850 with 7.2.6.21_5.0.20. I can also add some additional useful information. If you click on the "Connection Status" button you get a browser popup window that lets you release or renew the DHCP lease on the LAN port IP address. The IP Address and Subnet Mask are also empty in the popup window. Also note that the Lease Obtained and Lease Expires fields in the popup window always display "0 seconds".

     

    When you click the "Renew" button in the popup, it does in fact renew the DHCP lease, but it doesn't update any of the relevant info in either the "LAN Port" card or the "Connection Status" popup. My observation is that this is a display bug only, the LAN port has an IP address assigned by DHCP, and can renew it, it just doesn't display in the web admin properly.

     

    Here's a big screenshot showing all the relevant bits, including the logs from my DHCP server showing the lease being renewed.

    Thanks for the info. I'll pass this on as well.
