mr60 dhcp not working

Same issue here. Default SSID works fine after resetting, but after changing SSID, DHCP doesn't work. Older firmware does seem to work (1.0.6.102), but I had to update the firmware to finish up the setup. Now I hate this router so much.

Re: mr60 dhcp not working

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended. 

 

Be sure to factory reset the MR and setup from scratch. 

I recommend changing the DHCP pool size to .100 thru .200 as well. 

 

I've not seen this on my MK63 system with v.132 loaded....I change SSIDs some what frequently.

Thanks. It's not the cable. I downgraded to 1.0.6.102 and reset the router without internet cable. Now everything works.

Next time, factory reset the system and setup from scratch after updating FW. 

Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200
