DHCP not working for some clients
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2012 12:59 pm
Firmware is 1.4.7
DHCP is working for some hosts, while not for others, but works for all hosts with a non-gargoyle router.
Generally, DHCP is method used by some hosts to get an IP address from the router.
Not working:
Droid phone on wifi connection. Droid is connected through an engenius wireless bridge that plugs into switch which plugs into the TP-Link WR741D gargoyle router that was purchased from the Gargoyle store.
Wilife security camera software. This one is unusal since there a 4 powerline LAN cameras operated through software on a windows PC. The DHCP requests for each camera only occur when the software runs.
In both of the above cases, If I turn off the DHCP in the gargoyle router, and then enable DHCP in another router that is plugged into the switch, with no topology or wiring changes, both of the above are able to get an IP address from that other router. I am only connected to one LAN port on that router and there is no wireless on it, so there is no DNS info given by the DHCP fulfillment. The other router simply proves that the DHCP packets are moving to the gargoyle, but are not fulfilled. I have upnp turned off on the gargoyle and the other router.
On the gargoyle router I have already tried using a static IP assignment, and also tried turning upnp on, which did not help. While this DHCP issue is going on, other hosts are able to operate DHCP with the gargoyle router, including a magic jack+ with a gargoyle static assignment, and a windows PC with no gargoyle static IP assignment.
Conclusion: some DHCP requests are not being fulfilled by the gargoyle router.
Is this a known issue or is the router I bought from gargoyle store defective?
