Situation: I have a Linksys EA6500 v2 Wireless-N router. About 2 months ago, I had to perform a factory reset because my ISP refused to accept that my router wasn't the issue with my Internet access. Ever since, I've had this strange issue with my non-PC devices not properly registering on the DHCP. My desktop, laptop, and printer all pull an appropriate IP (192.168.1.*) while my Android devices, game consoles, and my brothers' Roku pull a wrong address (192.168.0.*).

The devices register as having connected to the network with a strong connection, but can't do anything (for obvious reasons), but I can figure out why this is happening.

I've tried doing another factory reset, just in case I screwed something up with the manual configuration, but it didn't seem to change the issue.

Here's my configuration:

IPv4 Connection Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP

I don't know what other information could be needed, but I apologize if I missed something important. Does anyone have any ideas as to where my issue is?

  • personal and home computer networking are on-topic if you want to be sure you can check that here superuser.com/help/on-topic Jul 6, 2015 at 18:48
  • Yeah, sorry, I'd meant to delete that bit. I originally posted on the networking engineer Stack, since I couldn't find any other Stack for networking. ^^'

  • are you sure you have not another host providing dhcp? which kind of link have each host wired, wireless?.. provide that info Jul 6, 2015 at 18:58
  • All connections are wireless, that's why I used the tag "wireless-networking". As for another DHCP, what else would be controlling DHCP on my local network other than the router that everything connects to?

  • There are several devices that may act as DHCP server : a NAS, a print server, even one of your computers, mobile phones.
