Model: Archer BE400  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.9 Build 20250417 rel.46306(4A50)

Recently I setup my Archer GE800(Main router) with Archer BE400(Satellite router) to build a mesh Wi-Fi, via Easymesh.

 

 

But I found a strange thing that the Archer BE400 requests DHCP assignment every 34 seconds, even I have assigned a static IP to it.

My DHCP server is built on my Ubuntu server, using isc-dhcp-server, and I have disable the DHCP server on GE800.

 

here is my ISC DHCP server log

Re:Satellite router send DHCP-Request every 30 seconds despite static IP assignment

Hello@Kun99 ,

Welcome to our community.

 

May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:

ISP modem—BE800—BE400)))((( client devices

(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )

 

Please double-check if the BE400 is set to a static IP correctly. 

Please adjust the DHCP lease settings to check if the lease time is too short.

Yes, that it is. For more detail

Yes, I have checked my ISC DHCP server config that it assign BE400 a static IP.

Here is a part of the DHCP server config.

 

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  default-lease-time 21600;
  max-lease-time 86400;
  range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.250;

  option routers 192.168.1.1;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
}

 

...

 

host archer-be400 {
  hardware ethernet 68:7f:f0:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.8;
}

 

...

 

Also I have disable the DHCP server on GE800, and touched nothing on BE400, as it managed by GE800 and has no configurable options.
