Using smart connect in access point mode causing DHCP errors

[grueber]

I have a ROG GT-AC5300 set up as an access point. It used to be my primary router but I needed a Fortigate 60E installed to work from home. Since then I have had chronic issues with WiFi clients getting 169.254.x.x which is a DHCP error.

I decided to reset the 5300 using the initialize command through the UI. That seemed to fix the problems and I turned on smart connect for the 5 GHz band. DHCP problems promptly recurred on both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands. Turned off smart connect and the errors stopped.

I hope this gets fixed in a future firmware update.

it will never if you dont send them feedback, only if they get enough feedback for a single issue they will start reviewing their code.
