TL-WR802N client mode. DHCP not found
Trying to connect my LAN device to WLAN using client mode of TL-WR802N, Smart IP(DHCP) is selected.
The TL-WR802N itself connects to WLAN, but it cannot find the DHCP, and therefore it does not re-config the LAN port to same subnet as WLAN.
The LAN port stays at 192.168.0.1 if I connect a laptop to this LAN port, the laptop gets 192.168.0.100 as this is the first IP of internal DHCP of TL-WR802N.
The expected behavior would be:
1) Connection to WLAN (ok)
2) Finding DHCP of my WLAN
3) Deactivating internal DHCP, reconfig LAN port to same subnet, giving the connected client access by LAN to my WLAN
4) connected LAN client gets its IP from WLAN DHCP
Done
As point 2) fails, all others fail too. (fails means: log is fully of Discover DHCP service failed!)
If I connect a laptop to same WLAN directly (not using TP-WR802N), the laptop gets the IP from WLAN DHCP. So the DHCP is there.
I suppose that there must be a timeout for detecting DHCP in TL-WR802N which is too short.
For tests, I connected to another WLAN and there it works as expected.
I also tried the 3 available firmware versions, but none did work.
Setting LAN IP to static would work theoretically, but with that I have to set the network settings on my LAN device manually and this is not a solution for me.
Also, changes on network topology is not possible. DHCP behavior cannot be changed.
Long story short:
Is there a way to modify this DHCP discovering?
If not, which of (other) TP-Link device supports also client mode and has another DHCP discovery routine?
Or is there anything I missed?
Thanks for suggestions.
