Title: DHCP assign wrong IP address to client laptops (2)
Post by: society on September 03, 2009, 09:31:37 AM

DHCP enabled with default settings. Dynamic IP range from 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.199.
Router shows laptop with 192.168.0.199 however when I check the IP on laptop I have 192.168.100.10 and both laptops are connected on my SSID with 90% signal strenght.

If I give a fixed IP it's OK.

Any thoughts, help? should I call for an RMA? Is there a new firmware comming up?

I reflashed the router with "the latest and the gratest firmware" and it didn't help, disabled and enabled back DHCP also didn't help.

Is your Dlink router the only device handing out IP's? You might be suffering from double DHCP, in which situation the other device handing out IP's is on another subnet (maybe the neighbours's wireless router?)

yes is the only DHCP server available and I've been trying to fix this problem for the past 2 weeks.

It's ok I'll send it back to retailer.

Thanks a lot

How about setting up the router for reserved IP addresses for ALL of your devices. The addresses can be anything and this will ensure that each device gets it's own addresses when they are turned on that never changes, conflicts with another and helps in trouble shooting. Just make sure the devices are set for Auto Obtain IP addressing.
