R6700V2 DHCP Issues
I have a new R6700V2 router that has a very strange DHCP Issue. I just installed the router (replaced an older Asus) and everything worked fine for about 12 hours until devices started having their...
The replacement router works perfectly. It must have just been a defective device.
As and update, I also connected a wired laptop and and wired Xbox to the router with the same results. No DHCP. I consider myself very technical but this one has me stumped. Manual configuration of the device works fine so I know it has to be DHCP related.
Update as I continue to work through this. I have made manual reservations for all 18 connected devices. "Most" of the wireless reservations seem to be working but addresses will not be handed out wirelessly unless there's a manual reservation already made. Wired devices still will not get an address regardless of whether there is a reservation.
The support team has been very helpful but unable to resolve the issue so we are replacing the router. I'll update to let everyone know whether this resolved the issue.
HI kdhollis,
Try to load the latest firmware. Reset and reconfigure after.

I have upgraded and reset with still the same issue. It has to be something defective with this router. The router will be replaced soon and hopefully that will resolve the issue.
