After adding "more than a few" static leases R7000P stops working. There is no WAN anymore and wifi connection requests are turned down. A reset to factory settings resolves the issues, but then there are of course no static leases...
I have reproduced the problem approx. 10 times and on both the April and November releases. I also tried adding a few (3-5) static leases and testing, which was fine. I then added another 10 - 15 static leases and the router "freaked out" again.
For various reasons I need static leases so if the firmware cannot handle them it is useless to me.
Why don't you provide a walk through of exactly how you are doing it?
There isn't much to walk you through, really. You
[1] install any of the 3 versions of DD-WRT on your R7000P (April 17th, November 1st or November 4th),
[2] reset to factory settings (seems to happen when you install anyway, but making sure the baseline is clean),
[3] enter a few static leases (I have 16 but it doesn't take all for the problem to arise) and
[4] the thing enters a seizure.
It's not a hardware problem because I have 2 units and they both behave the same way. I don't use particularly many static leases. Here they are:
It would therefore surprise me if anyone is using DD-WRT on a R7000P with more than a handful static leases.
Are static leases so unusual now that nobody else has tried using them on a R7000P with DD-WRT? It seems incomprehensible to me that anyone can use a firmware which malfunctions when such a basic function is used. Feedback, anyone?
No problems on my R7000 with 33675-build; my list contains 33 static leases and - the 'usual' wifi-problems aside - nothing strange here.
I would be very surprised by your statement if you were using the same router as me. You are, however, referring to R7000 while I am experiencing this problem on R7000P.
My impression is that there are significantly more users on R7000 than R7000P so I think this problem would have received more attention if it affected your router model.
Anyway - thanks for trying to help / providing your input.
