ER605 DHCP not working

ER605 DHCP not working

ER605 DHCP not working
ER605 DHCP not working
Thursday
Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1

I am building (new setup) a relativley complex network with ER605 acting as the gateway to the WAN with three VLANs and managing DHCP on each Vlan.

 

I have the ER605 Linked to an T1600G-28TS smart switch with matching VLAN setup and Tagged ports etc on the trunk between them and all woks fine and devces on either smart switch Vlan port aquire their IP address from the ER606 fine and they in turn can see the internet but can not see devices on other Vlans as expected. 

 

I then added an EAP225 wireless access point to the T1600G switch on a port for the right Vlan and configued the AP for that Vlan with Tagged port on the switch which is itself conifured to use DHCP (as part of test process) and the ER605 is getting an IP address and I can access the AP Web interface fine (after looking up the IP address in the ER605 dhcp guest list) so I conclude that the AP is configured correctly and working with the other devics in the Vlan setup ok. 

 

However, if I try to connect to the AP wirless interface with an Android phone, the phone will not connect and I get unable to get IP address errors on the phone. If I "forget the network" and restart everything, the phone asks for the password for the right SSID (so clearly we are trying to talk to the right AP) but then fails to connect with the no IP error.

 

If however I configure the network interface on the android phone to use a static IP address it works so there seems to be a problem with the EAP225 working with an ER605 Dhcp server on android?   

 

Any thoughts as to how I go about diagnosing the cause please? 

 

Regards

  @MR.S I also tried this but in trying to flash the latest version it failed but the oldest version did load ok so I wonder if there is a shortcut to get to the latest versin without flashing 15 times? 

Thanks 

Regards

Look at the release notes. Not all require the minimum version to install.

Your hardware and software version is confusing in the OP

 

If you have a ER605 v1, it firmware started at v1

If you have a ER605 v2, its firmware started at v2.0.0

 

Which do you actually have?  The different versions of hardware do not have cross compatible firmware

  @GRL Sorry for the confusion in the incident detail, I assumed V2 and entered 1.1 meaning 2.1.1. so I will be more careful in future. 

Meanwhile I will investigate upgrading by reading the many upgrade notes but I may just end up buying a different router that just works for speed to value reasons  :(  

Thanks all for your help so far.

No need to repalce it, ER605 has no issues with DHCP.  Its either an old firmwre bug or a misconfiguration
