Firmware Version: 1.4.3 Build 201022 Rel.55840n(5553)

Hello everyone.
I bought my C24 just 4-5 days back. It's working so-so.

My router is broadcasting ARP packets throughout the network. It's just constantly releasing ARP broadcast packets into my network
and asking for all the other devices' MAC addresses. 

I've used Wireshark tool on my laptop to detect this problem. This is creating a ARP Flood in my wifi Network. 

No other device is doing this because the Wireshark tool is clearly showing that the packet is being sourced from my Router's IP adderss 192.168.0.1

Below is the log from the Wireshark tool

Re:ARP Flooding by the Router

Hello @MuhammadIstiaq 

 

Thank you for posting on the TP-Link Community.

 

As per the part of the data you posted, it seems the router is inquiring about the local network for those clients connected to the network to renew their IP info, but I cannot know that for sure. Can you email us the data captured by Wireshark for further analysis? You can email support.forum@tp-link.com with the thread ID and subject.

 

If you could give us more details about the network devices, how are they connected to each other, and how many in total, that would be great.
