Model: Archer BE800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 20240227 rel. 33191

I am running the Archer BE800 in Access Point mode. Connection type is Dynamic IP and the DHCP Server mode is Auto.

 

My router assigns the BE800 an IP address which is valid for 12 hours. Yet the BE800 is refreshing the DHCP lease about every 30 seconds:

Please fix.

Set a static IP address on its LAN interface and set its DHCP server to OFF to mitigate this - it's normal behavior in AP mode.

It even does that when the Archer BE800 IP is set to Static IP (Access Point mode). I wonder why it is still flooding the router with DHCP requests in this case. I am starting to like this device...

 

Please fix.
