"LAN IP" setting changes randomly

2021-01-12 10:31:20 - last edited 2021-04-27 10:16:00

Model: Deco P9

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.1.2 Build 20200918 Rel. 74476

When first installing my deco system, LAN IP was set at 192.168.68.1 with 255.255.255.0 as mask.

Sometimes, following a restart or a disconnect from the bridge, the LAN IP change to 192.168.0.1

This is highly annoying since I've got some devices that needs a static IP and I lose control over my system and lose functionalities when this change occurs.

Can you please tell me if it's a bug or if another setting overrides this "LAN IP"?

Recent changes to my system have been :

- Changed my main deco from a M4 to a P9

- My 4G router is now in bridge mode

Thanks

Hi,nice to see you again.

It is more related to the IP conflict.

And if possible, could you please help me check the following information on the Deco APP:

1. the IP settings on the IPV4 page, like internet IP address, DNS server;

2. the LAN IP address on the Deco;

-if there is any conflict, Deco would change its LAN IP address;

For more details, please refer to this link to have a look：

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.

@Yugnat

It's the "smart dhcp" issue if you're using the bridge mode.

Many people reported that and are annoyed as same as you.

TP-link said that it'll be improved in the future release but we've not had it yet.

You can find the topics with the keyword "smart dhcp".
