BE230 puts DHCP requests every 30s despite putting it in static IP mode

Model: Archer BE230

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: be230v1_be230v1.20_all-up-ver1-2-2-P1%5B20251114-rel11225%5D_2048_debug.bin

Hi, TP Link team,

I found another bug, I am currently using this router in AP mode and my ASUS BE86U as the primary router, as the BE230 has a lot of bugs. Some bugs I found:
1. DHCP lease failure in AP Mode. My ASUS BE86U has static entry for be230 pointing to 10.1.7.240 bound to be230 MAC address, but BE230 TP link is attempting to lease every 34 seconds even when I have fixed static entry.
Even in static IP mode in TP Link BE230 it puts DHCP requests indefinitely.

CAUTION MY ASUS BE86U is not bugged, it is TP BE230 that is bugged. I am using ASUS Merlin Firmware
.
2. IPv6 is bugged as I mentioned earlier. IPv6 is not connecting after router auto restart in PPPoE, need to manually reboot only then it connects. I found out upon inspecting the packets that the Firmware is not handling these correctly.

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.
