Title: Clients getting IP address outside DHCP server
Post by: rod91680 on August 06, 2009, 08:51:19 PM

Hi all -

Specs: I have a DIR-655, hardware A4, firmware 1.31NA. I have WPA2 + AES security. DNS Relay is on. Advanced DNS is off. WISH is off, and so is Extra Wireless Protection.

I have a few computers at home and an iPhone that connect to this router.

The router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1. The DHCP server is enabled to give ip addresses from 192.168.1.100-199

Sometimes when I connect to the router with any client, it pulls the IP address 192.168.0.20. I have to disconnect and reconnect, sometimes multiple times, to get a valid IP address.

I've gotten around this by assigning a static IP address to a few things on my network, but that defeats the purpose of having a DHCP server, right?

I'd love to not have to disconnect/reconnect every time I want to go online. Your help would be appreciated.

Please specify the rest of your network devices (and IP ranges). If there are two DHCP servers in the network you will get these issues.

Bah, my DAP-1522 had the DHCP server on. Nevermind.
