Hi,
I am running RT-AX86U, with latest firmware version: 3.0.0.4.388_24401 (stock firmware)
My DHCP is set to allow IP Pool address range: 192.168.50.10 - 192.168.50.60
However, looking at my AiMesh screen, i keep seeing an Apple device connected wirelessly with a .50.161 IP address. How is this possible?
I have rebooted and reset my router to factory default. ASUS support suggested that I also rebuilt all the router config from scratch and not restore from a previously saved file. I've done all this and still, it allows an IP address out of range.
Solved! Go to Solution.

That usually happens when the device is using a static IP or still holding a lease from a previous DHCP range. Check if the Apple device has a manual IP set in its Wi-Fi settings. You can also clear the DHCP lease table and reboot both router and device to force a new IP within your defined range.

The Apple device may have a manually assigned IP address in it's settings.
