IP Pool is being byspassed by Aimesh node?

[washburn]

Hi guys, I have an ac68u as mesh router, 2 ac59u v2 mesh nodes and a TP-Link AP. I've set the IP pool to 192.168.2-199 on the ac68u but some devices are still assigned above 199. I tried manually setting IP addresses but it doesn't work. I've set the TP-Link as guest network to handle 192.168.1.200-254 so I can limit the bandwidth. I also tried bandwidth limiter on the the AP but it doesn't work. So if my own devices connect on aimesh and given IP above 199 the limiter kicks in. I need some advice. TIA!

If the TP-Link is a wired AP, I'm wondering why it is assigning IP addresses.

Yes it is wired connected to a node.

Yes it is wired connected to a node.

Is the TP-Link in Router Mode or AP Mode?

Doesn’t sound like it is

It is in AP mode. I cant use it as a repeater because there is no guest mode. I wish that they'd implemented aimesh 2.0 on the ac59uv2.

Does the TP-Link in AP Mode broadcast its own guest WLAN using its own DHCP server?

Yes, I just checked it just now, it's bypassing static IP assignment on main router and assigning new IPs. AP has no limiter on guest network. If I disable DHCP on AP, how can I limit bandwith of users connected on AP? Driving me mad. Thanks @OzarkEdge for replying.

I have never bothered using my RT-AC86U QoS, but I notice it offers per client bandwidth limiting. Maybe same is available on your AC68U.

I've tried this and it doesn't work on the AP. Users connected on guest network still get full bandwidth, I have to manually add each new device connecting to it. Hey thanks man. I need to rethink this.
