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

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.
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.
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.
