This is a question about my router acting as a wireless and wired access point. Wired clients don't get DHCP offers.
Device: TP Link WR841NDv9
DD-WRT version: r31690 std (03/17/17)
I have a primary router (connected to my DSL modem), and a secondary router (above). The primary router works perfectly supplying wired and wireless devices access to the internet.
The secondary router connects via ethernet to the primary router at the other side of the house. In ought to act as a WiFi access point and a switch for any wired devices attached (e.g. the TV). I do not use the WAN port at all on the secondary router.
DHCP is turned off on this secondary device, as the primary router should be the authoritative DHCP server.
Wifi clients CAN connect to the secondary router and gain ip via DHCP. However the wired clients cannot gain DHCP IP addresses from the secondary router.
