TL-WPA4220 and DHCP
Hello,
I saw my TL-WPA4220 is sending DHCP requests approx every minute. I was looking for information and I found this trehad but it is already closed since it is almost four years old.
The thing is that I am having the same issue, even with a different HW and FW version.
Someone said in that thread that it was maybe by design to identify if there was other DHCP server in the network. Well, that could make sense if the DHCP server option in the device is set to 'auto', but in my case I have it disabled.
The point here is that the TL-WPA4200 is completely ignoring the lease time, and T1 & T2 options, and simply sending the request every minute. Even in the device log it says the gotten lease time is 130 seconds, when it is not.

Has anyone found any solution to this?
Thanks
