DHCP IP address conflict using Wnr2200 as wireless access point in a Windows network
Hi everibody, I'm using a WNR2200 router only as a wi-fi access point to our lan, which has already a DHCP server. The lan DHCP server is excluding some address in a range (e.g. from .50 to .100) since these addresses are used by some server to give them a static IP in our lan. WNR2200 too has its lan address in that range. DHCP server in WNR2200 is disabled, so any device wi-fi connected should use the lan DHCP server, but in the last days some wireless attached device has an IP in that excluded range (e.g. a smartphone connects and gets the .74 IP), so sometimes we have an IP conflict. We haven't changed anything both in the WNR2200 configuration and in the DHCP server configuration, but this wrong ip assignment is still happening also after a server and /or WNR2200 reboot. How may I prevent the WNR2200 access point to assign a "forbidden" IP to a wi fi connected device? Thank you in advance for your help.Solved
