Vandermerwe,
I do so understand that you are trying to help, but I am clueless to your focus for DHCP. I do not USE DHCP on my LAN. And, I fail to accept that the DUO-v2 refuses to allow me to statically assign its' ip address. It did 18months ago when I bought it. I read this as a major fault of the current RAIDiator f/w (v5.3.Eight). If I could, I would try to downgrade the RAIDiator f/w back to v5.3.3 (the last version I used to statically assign an ip address to this DUO-v2).
If you are adament on testing the DHCP server of my router and the ability of the router/nas to assign/change the Duo-v2's ip address, then I have to say, "Thank you. I am not interested. Good Day, mate!" I fail to see why you suggest that I do this, truly. Perhaps you like DHCP. I do not. No harm, no foul.
I am looking at the Netgear RN10200 and the Netgear RN31200 as replacements after I dust-bin or RMA this Duo-v2. :x
