DHCP assignment issues on RS700 are not fixed

Indeed inside BitDefender. From the App:

1. Protection category, in Firewall Settings.
2. Type: Home/Office -should be set as default in all tabs if you are connected as such.
3. The setting labeled  "Use passive DHCP Mode,"  should be Enabled.
4. On the last tab (labeled "Settings"), Click "Edit Stealth Settings," and Disable "Ethernet."
5. Click OK, and close the BitDefender window.
6. I would repeat the above settings changes. Settings seemed not to take on the first go around.

This resolved all DHCP issues here on all 3 machines that exhibited the issue on a weekly interval.

Way to assume. Nope. The only new driver released was for the wireless card. Not the 226v. And my 226v had the issue again this morning. I have been working directly with WarmHelp_NTGR​ on this matter and will post details here when I know its fixed.

FYI: 

NOTICE: New - RS700S Firmware Version 1.0.11.6 Released | NETGEAR Communities

Any progress on this? 

I have not been able to reproduce this after installing newer Intel drivers. 

Also there is a beta FW available as well for the RS router. 

Seems like this issue between the RS and Intel i226-V adapter has been resolved. 

Just curious if you have had any progress on this? 

Have you given newer Intel adapter drivers a try?

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.

Hi Overtkill​ 

I have sent you a private message. Please kindly check it when you have a moment.

Any progress on this? 

I woke my PC today and at the sign in screen the network icon seemed to take a few seconds to get going but it finally did and got connected. Noticed this with this PC. It's a older PC so not the fastest but it connected. I don't feel this is a RS issue. DHCP is working with my Intel I-226v adapter.

As FURRYe38​ asked, which specific Ethernet adapter is in these two PCs?

The internet seems to report that not all cards with the Intel 226-V chip perform the same.  I could imagine a Netgear engineer remarking to his buddies, "Hey.  I'm using an Intel 226-V on this RS700 and it works perfectly."

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.
