RAX35 upgrading from firmware 1..0.4.102 to 1.0.5.104 DHCP misbehavior

RAX35 Firmware Bug:

Upgrading from firmware 1.0.4.102 to 1.0.5.104 causes DHCP to issue addresses in wrong subnet (192.168.1.xxx) and even ignores the address range for assignments (100 -- 149 in my case).

 

Rolling back to 1.0.4.102 does not fix the issue as apparently the configuration has been changed by 1.0.5.104.  Also changing LAN address to 192.168.1.1 and then back to a different subnet does not change the DHCP behavior -- it still gives 192.168.1.11 and up addresses.

 

I went back to 1.0.5.104 and just changed my statically assigned devices to 192.168.1.xxx and the router to 192.168.1.1.

  • After changing firmware, did you try a factory reset? Sometimes firmware changes cause issues with the current settings and a factory reset can help.
