So my architecture is that I have a AC1900 converted to AC68U, on Merlin as my main router upstairs.
I also have a secondary router downstairs set up as a wireless bridge (AP-Client) without repeater function. It's only connected to my HTPC/file server. This way I can send a wake-on-lan packet to turn it on/off via VPN, and access my files when I'm out of the house.
I have a N56U with Padavan installed. I have the main router's DHCP assign it a static IP of 192.168.0.2. However, the N56U insists on using the IP it first started out with -- 192.168.0.143.
If I force Padavan to take a static IP, it works.
To test, I changed the main router's DHCP table for other devices. I've even set up a N66U as a wireless bridge (Merlin) and I was successful in changing its client IP without issue. So that suggests to me that it's an issue with Padavan not renegotiating its IP.
I shouldn't have to do this, right? Why isn't it negotiating a new IP? How can I force it to flush its DHCP table and to grab a new IP?
