Title: Router DHCP Problems
Post by: mvd7793 on December 23, 2009, 04:41:04 PM

Hello,

Recently, we have been having problems with the DHCP server in our router. Randomly, devices started to get 169.* IP addresses. I poked around in the router, and saw that it might be because the DHCP only assigned 192.168.0.10 - 192.168.0.20. Changing the second number to 192.168.0.100 seemed to fix it for a while, but now we're having the same problem again. Any ideas?

try resetting the firmware and rebuilding your config. do it once from backup to save some work, and if that doesn't fix then rebuild it from scratch, just make sure you reset to default each time. it should work though since I have 2 different ranges from 192.168.0.1-100 and 100-200 with mixed static and dhcp all working fine. could be your first range was cutting it too close to the amount of clients you have and it somehow saved a default range for whatever spilled over, just make sure you choose one wide enough to handle all your clients and future expansion.
