Hello,
I've been using a TP-Link Archer C2600 for about a year now, its got the latest firmware update on it and was reset to factory settings as per their instructions. Here is my current firmware version: 1.1.7 Build 20160622 Rel. 56516
Before this I didn't have any issues, the network was solid, especially hard wired devices. Since this update I've begun to have issues where devices see the wireless network but have no internet connection and self assign themselves a 169.254.x.x address. The bulk of these items are iPads and Apple TVs, though I had an issue with my Sonos as well but reset that to factory and was able to get it back on the network.
My question is what would be some things to troubleshoot on these devices that are not getting a DHCP IP address and keep self assigning themselves one? Its very odd and random. My sons iPad Mini will be fine most of the day then all of a sudden lose its connections and I'll look his settings and the WiFi says "No Internet Connection", then eventually a few seconds later connects.
Right now I have 3 Apple TVs that are all hard wired and I can't get them to find an IP so they are all sitting there with 169.254.x.x IPs, rebooted them several times and nothing. The bulk of the items with issues are my hard wired devices.
I even reset my wireless router mentioned above to factory and started over and still having this issues. Also, this is odd, I live in Oklahoma but when I do a speed test from speedtest.net and various other speed tests, it seems to think I live in Arizona. I did just have Cox Gigablast installed, but why does it think I'm in Arizona? I've been on some other sites that do the location finding stuff and it thinks I'm in Arizona as well.
Any kind words of where to point me to troubleshoot would be great.
Thank you.
EDIT: It seems things are slowly coming back online, maybe I wasn't patient enough, but the Apple TVs are finally all online again, so not sure what the deal was, maybe just took more time than I was giving it to get an IP from DHCP?
