RS700 assigning same IP address to more than one device.
Just got my RS700 up and running and have noticed that there is an ip address that is assigned to two devices on the network. It's strange in that it happens to only one ip address. I can power off o...
Hi,
Which firmware version is on your RS700? if it's v1.0.7.82, please upgrade to v1.0.7.86 which resolves some DHCP server issues related to what you mentioned.
However, we still got one case reported that the issue of duplicate IP address assignments still happened on v1.0.7.86. So if you are already on the firmware v1.0.7.86 and you still experienced this issue, we may have some beta firmware for you to try soon. If you are willing to test beta firmware, please let me know and I will send it to you when it's available.
Thanks.

Thanks for your input. I was on the 1.0.7.82 firmware and had to manually download and install 1.0.7.86. For some reason the router didn't find the latest firmware on its own. I'll monitor the router and post if the issue remains. My preference would be to wait until a final release instead of beta software if it becomes necessary. Thanks again for your help!
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
