TP-Link ER605 DHCP from Windows Server 2019
![](/avatar/avatar-11.png)
Hi,
i have following scenario:
My subnet: 192.168.2.0/24 ( DHCP from Windows Server 192.168.2.10 )
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 ( LANCOM Router)
Omada Mgmt IP: 192.168.0.1
1. i can't configure a new WAN IP from 192.168.2.0/24 and have same wired subnet, it's not possible, is not working on ER605, there's a error message while configuring.
2. i can't set a different WAN IP, example 192.168.3.1, then there is no internet connection then, even if i set gateway 192.168.2.1 or DNS 192.168.2.10
my intention is to get IP addresses on wifi devices from windows dhcp server.
any ideas / solutions for this topic ?
regards

Hi @adumin
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
1. Specify the error.
2. Of course it is no Internet when you use 192.168.3.1. I don't know why you choose that IP address but I think you might need some study on the IP, subnet and gateway.
It is clearly wrong to use 192.168.3.1 in your described network.
DNS 192.168.2.10, does it support the DNS function? Does Windows Server DHCP have an upstream DNS server? It does not query the upstream, then it cannot be a proper DNS server or you have a different way to store the DNS on the Win server which is not explained in your description?
Lastly, the question you asked, you should consider getting a switch instead of a router. Simply based on what you described.
But you can also try to use the DHCP relay function for what you asked.

@Clive_A Thanks for your time & reply.
1. Windows Server = DHCP + DNS
2. Tried already Relay = no internet
3. It's not important to use default subnet of 192.168.0.1
you should use what you need, right!
4 therefore my default should be 192.168.2.0
But when i configure (4) then there is no internet AND
i can't configure a new wired subnet, because default subnet (4) and WAN IP are from same subnet (4).
#
i need default subnet, because DHCP + DNS is from Windows Server + need WIFI SSID for it's subnet (4)
#
what do mean to configure it on switch and what ois to configure there ?
kindly

Checked this with the team.
So, the DHCP relay requires a DHCP server residing in the LAN. Instead of the WAN(over NAT). So, it cannot work.
I am afraid that this cannot be done. Unless we support disabling the NAT function.
However, disabling the NAT, would make the router less "router". Losing its essence. And it falls back to the previous I recommend you use a switch instead of a router unless you have a specific reason for that.
And that's beyond the normal use case we have. I may not be able to give you the proper suggestions.
