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!!

I posted this above....
- Boot up, as in power on Windows 11 14900K Desktop PC's, both hand built. Both have run on another Netgear router (AX120v2 with the overheating issue that was replaced by this RS700) without any DHCP issues. So The only real thing is that I do not have issues with DHCP issues from other equipment like my older Dell Gigabit switch can also assigns IP's to these 2 rigs with no problems. And yes, currently the DHCP side for that switch is disabled. I'm leaning toward the RS700 has issues with newer Intel LAN 226V chipset over a WIRED connection. You are over thinking this. Again, this issue appeared when this router was plugged into my network on week one, so IMO the rigs are not the issue as they work as expected on other network hardware. If I were to get a different router, I'd bet the problem would go away (AX120v2 worked, except it required an external fan to cool it). You'd think flagship products would actually be vetted before release. I'm sick of being a guinea pig for these companies buggy **bleep** routers that cost a fortune.

Do you have these PCs set for IP address reservation or are they set for Dynamic on the RS Router?
Are these the only devices exhibiting this issue with the Intel 226V chipset adapters installed.
What driver version are you using for the Intel Adapters?
Are these adapters built in to the motherboard or are they PCIe installable cards?
Which brand are these adapters if installable cards?
These PCs are not kept ON all the time and turned OFF?
Which LAN ports are you using on the RS router to connect these two PCs too?
