  @Fae Seriously, are you going to leave us unanswered? We are having problems for months with a basic function that any garbage router does, it is something very serious that impacts many businesses!

@havenstance I've been continuing to work with support and they provided me with a newer ER605 v1 beta firmware a few days ago that, so far, has corrected the DHCP issues. It passed Shields Up and I've had no spikes in CPU or Memory. Not sure I can post it here...the version is 1.2.2 and the build date is 20230118.

  @NTWRK 

 

does support believe it will resolve the same issue with ER7206?

  @NTWRK certainly some promising news! Thank you for the update. Let us know if it continues like this. What is the version of controller you have?

@Hendrics Will do! I am using the OC200 v1 hardware controller and have firmware version 1.21.7 (Controller Version: 5.7.6).

 

@DannyZ I have been working with them solely with the ER605 (v1) so I'm unsure about the ER7206. The email said "here is the beta firmware that fixes the DHCP issue" and I only received the one specific to my support case.

 

@Hank21 / @Fae - Can you please share the ER605 v1 1.2.2 20230118 beta with this forum? Are there any recent betas for ER605 v2 or ER7206 that you can also share?

At this point, I'm not willing to wait until they sort their junk out. It's been two months, my business is losing money daily over this. It's time for TP-Link to get the boot. Plus 605 firmware doesn't work with 7206, I have 3 tickets into TP-Link and have had for months, they keep releasing windows binaries before the Linux ones for the controller, all in all, a very unorganized system, and I am sorry I bought into this junk. I will be contacting an attorney, because at this point, that lifetime guarantee is completely useless.

I am one of the users that is not experiencing the DHCP issues but wants to know what exactly is special about the affected setups.

  @crrodriguez 

 

I've also never had DHCP problems, I have ER605v1 and v2 ER7206v1 and ER8411v1, none of these have DHCP problems, so I'm also wondering what I've done to get rid of these problems,

 

I use very little DHCP reservation, if there are devices that are supposed to have a fixed IP then they get a fixed IP on the device itself, but I have some reservations mostly to test if this stops working. so far there have been no problems

 


everything is running the latest version of firmware, ER605v1 and v2 are running on the latest available beta.

I have set the ER605v1 routers to restart automatically once a week,

  @shberge 

m8be you dont use VLANs, or the constellation in your environment is just lucky. It could be switches with v1 or v2 or v4 in a mixed environment that just causes those problems.

I didnt manage to solve them, BUT after the oktober betas it seems to work.
