Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Hi all,

I also started getting the same dhcp lease renewal issue. Im using version 134. I have been using it for years but the past few weeks the router started having this issue.

I tried setting up the max dhcp value to 100 and also reserved ips for my devices. It worked for a week and started again.

Please help

Hi Fraser,

Yes i did that and the router seem to be working fine for now. I flashed version 114 using tftp, did factory rest and then upgraded to 134.

Thanks for the usual support.

Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Try setting DHCP range from .100 to .200?

 

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

 

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

 

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Did you set the reserved IPs outside the range you set?

Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Disable DHCP entirely (make sure you've reserved all the IPs) and then it should be better

Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Hi Fraser,

Tried disabling dhcp, for some reason it didnt recognize all devices although they have been setup. Re-enabled dhcp again and them couldn’t connect at all to the router.


I did a factory reset and now the router cant boot up . I enter 192.168.1.1 , first time it took me to the license agreement, i accepted it then it got stuck. I used also adv_index but still the same. Did multiple factory resets with no luck. Also turned it off for 10 mins still the same.

I guess the router just died.

Unplug it from power for 10 minutes, this will let the residual power drain, then plug in, wait 4 minutes and try accessing

Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Hi,

I tried, initial page started. Then it asked to accept data collection and i accepted. Then the page where the model of the router appeared. I accepted but then it got stuck and the connection timed out. After that i tried again several times but it always timed out.

Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

I'd suggest reupgrading the firmware using the TFTP method, this bypasses the boot process and any issues there then once done do a factory reset for the freshest install possible: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/54949-dumaos-is-not-running/?do=findComment&comment=407569

Re: DHCP constantly renewing XR500

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
