Tags: #Access Point Mode
Model: Archer AX6000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 20221208 rel.45145(5553)

I set up my AX6000 in 'Access Point mode' - connected to my home LAN on which I have a linux box offering dhcp.
My LAN port is requesting ( and getting ) a lease. I see that it's received the IP I configured for it.


However, it appears to be re-requesting it every 30-ish seconds .

It has a static IP assigned outside of the dynamic pool (lease timer is currently set to 120 mins) - but keeps asking...
I've got a bunch of other devices which I set up similarly - regular PC's and servers and the like, none of which exhibit this behavior.

 

Same issue as outlined in the thread below:

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/249290


Is there a fix for this?

@MartinNow 

 

Hi,

 

This issue has been reported several times here in the community, and here is the solution you can try:

 

When configuring the TP-Link router as an Access Point behind another gateway router, make sure you choose Static IP for its DHCP Server settings, and set a Static IP address that is beyond the DHCP address range of the gateway router, then confirm if the issue disappears.

 Several users have mentioned this issue here; the proposed solution is detailed below. If the issue persists after setting up the TP-Link router as an Access Point behind another gateway router, try changing the DHCP Server settings to Static IP and entering a Static IP address that is outside of the DHCP address range of the gateway router.
