System with Multiple Wireless Access Points - No IP address when moving to new AP
I have 3 Archer C7 routers configured as wireless access points for my home. All devices are wired directly off my cable modem to LAN points. DHCP is disabled on the routers (IP addresses are obtained from cable modem) and the access points are assigned static addresses outside of the DHCP range of my modem. ON the 2.4GHz band, I'm using wireless channels 1,6,11. Security is set to WPA/WPA2(automatic) and AES. SSIDs are set the same on all access points.
When a device migrates from one access point to another, the device can't reconnect to the internet (DHCPC DHCP Service unavailable, recv no OFFER). What should I do to correct? Should I enable the bridge function on the access points? I believe the modem sees the device MAC address already has an assignment (associated with a different access point) and isn't issuing a new one on the different access point.
Thanks in adance
