Deco not consistently handing out DHCP leases?
I have a home network consisting of
- Cable DSL Model / router
- TPlink Deco (M4's / M5s) configured using ethernet backhaul
- 6 rooms connected via Cat 6 terminating on unmanaged Gigabait Switches (also tplink)
Recently I added a new room to the network running Cat6 cable to the garden and adding another unmanaged Gigabit switch and an M5
Problem:
I am now seeing some devices (phones/laptops) unable to get a DHCP lease from the Deco network. Configuring a static IP works.
All devices have 1.6 Firmware
Questions:
- Is this a known issue? Any quick fixes?
- If I don't use any advanced features should I move the deco to AP mode and use my Cable Modem's DHCP?
Any other tips or guidance?
