When configured to use a dynamic IP, the AP will periodically send requests to the gateway router to renew its IP address.

 

If you want to avoid it, please set a static IP address for its LAN as mentioned by woozle in the following response to check whether it stops:

BTW, the firmware on your BE230 is not the latest version. Please check for updates and upgrade to the latest version.

 

If the unexpected behavior persists, please also email us the configuration file on the BE230 for further investigation.

 

Thank you very much.

Having the exact same issue, I'm using HALNY HL-4GMV for a fiber connection and BE230 for WiFi. I've already made a DHCP reservation in the HALNY router for the BE230 and set it to static mode, but every 34 seconds it renews the lease. This causes intermittent internet connection issues for connected devices. Firmware is 1.2.5 Build 20260108 rel.68570(4555) and I don't think this issue has been there from the beginning.

Hi,

 

Could you please post a screenshot showing what you entered into the fields below "Static IP" on the BE230?

I'm unable to upload the image, so I'll just type it out.

IP Address 192.168.33.5

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Default gateway 192.168.33.1

Primary DNS 192.168.33.1

Ok. So, if the BE230 is configured like shown in the picture below, but is still sending out DHCP requests every 34 seconds, then TP-Link needs to correct this.

 

If you don't mind the effort, could you perhaps do another test?
Make the IP address in the HALNY router's DHCP reservation for the BE230 different from the "Static IP" set in the BE230 (like, reserved IP 192.168.33.5 vs. static IP 192.168.33.7), reboot the BE230 and then check whether the BE230 can be reached via the reserved DHCP IP address or the Static IP address.

After changing the static IP on the BE230 to 192.168.33.50, I could access the config through that address, and not the one reserved on the HALNY.

Also, I was curious if extending the DHCP lease from the default 24 hours to the HALNY's maximum of 3 days would change anything. It did not.

Thanks for testing.

 

Maybe one more thing you can try. Provided you are not specifically using the BE230 AP's DHCP server, go to the "DHCP Server" menu of the BE230 and change it from "Auto" to "Off" and save. Then check the System Log again.

I am experiencing this similar issue as well.

My BE230 is operating in AP mode with its IP configuration set to Dynamic.

On my main router/DHCP server, I have an IP reserved for the BE230 with a lease time of 43,200 seconds (12 hours).

Despite receiving the correct lease time from the server, the BE230 ignores it and spams the logs by entering the "renewing state" every 33-34 seconds.

 

Hardware/Firmware Details:

  • Model: Archer BE230 v1.0

  • Firmware: 1.2.5 Build 20260108 rel.68570(5553)

  • Operation Mode: Access Point (AP) Mode, with DHCP server off

 

Logs:

With all due respect, even if manually changing the BE230's network setting to "Static IP" could stop the log spam, this is merely a workaround, isn't it?

In my honest opinion, the BE230's DHCP client behavior is not normal as it does not respect server-provided lease times.

This did stop the DHCP spam, but it was replaced by different, a bit more irregular spam.

The issue of the BE230 seemingly disconnecting itself from the HALNY router in random intervals persists.
