An issue I have found with 3.8.5 since its release is that after install the router will not reassign an ip address to some DHCP clients if they go offline and then come back on. I have two routers each with 3 lans operating. A big advantage of the new firmware is to have 2 of these with strict bind ip to mac, while leaving the third (guest) lan open. However even with the 'strict bind' off clients that go offline for a period are often refused an ip address when they come back. Am I missing something or is this a bug/issue in the new firmware? I havre reverted to the last iteration of 3.8.4 for the time being.
Thanks.
Make sure your not binding to another subnet / Vlan, than the one your connecting to. I just bounced connections, and have found no issues so far, other than that. You can assign a bind to another subnet on the old 3.8.4.6 firmware, and connect to a different subnet, thus ignoring this setting. I have seen this before, and am sure they will fix this. I will keep watch for timeouts that do not re-connect.
