Deco M5 DHCP
I have two Deco M9 and one M5 in AP mode as follows:
Wired Wireless
SonicWall ----------- Deco M9 -------------- Deco M9
| Wireless
------------- Deco M5 - Switch - end points
Devices wirelessly connect to any deco unit and the Master M9 (wired) has both the M5 and the second M9 connected.
The end points connected to the switch have fixed DCHP IP addresses, and DHCP is running on the SonicWall for the AP Mesh network range.
My issue is that the M5 will connect a device but the device does not get DHCP IP and route info.
If walk down close to an M9 unit (either) then DHCP works issuing an IP and I can return to the location with the M5 and things carry on working.
So I know the SonicWall DHCP is working as the M9 units are supporting it with clients.
I know the M5 is working as it reports OK and the wired devices connect via it.
So what its it with the M5 blocking or ignoring DHCP in AP mode when meshed to an M9 controller?
Anyone else seen this behaviour?
