DHCP assignment issues on RS700 are not fixed
Trial Firmware for me too please. DHCP assignment issues on RS700 are not fixed with the October release 1.0.9.16_2.0.106. Options also seems skimpy in the configuration settings. Thanks!!

Issue resolved. BitDefender Security suite's firewall has an issue with detecting the network is a Home/Work network, and Public. Forced settings to Home/Work, and had to do this a few times on one rig, due to BD not saving the settings properly. One would think that they'd easily pull that information from Windows on install (c# System.Management "Network Category").
Additionally, it also has a "Stealth Mode" feature, that also has to be turned off.
This resolved the issue on all 3 machines.
I appreciate your help and time. And the same to WarmHelp_NTGR. :)
Thanks!

Has the newest trial version of beta FW been checked for this?
There is v1.0.8.10 available...

Will likely apply the update today. Timing was better after the holidays. I'll check back after a bit and let you know.

So I flashed it the day of my last reply. Saturday, my wife's PC had the issue occur. In fact, for some reason, the issue with hers is always Saturday. Mine, Seems like hit and miss on that day. Both didn't have the issue with the previous router, the RAX120v2 with the overheat/dead fan issue that this one replaced.
