I'm trying to allocate some fixed IP addresses, when I log into my hub, select advanced settings and then DHCP the web page hangs. The browser says there is a long running script and do I want to wait, but even if I wait it never completes. If I kill the script it logs me out of the hub.

Any ideas why DHCP configuration doesn't work?

Do a reset or try another browser

Even if you get it to load the hub 3 is buggy you may be better off using modem mode and your own router with 1Gb ports.

When I tried modem mode I lost all internet, I think it means I need another router instead (ethernet switch isn't enough) right?

Just found it does work, it just takes around 5 minutes to load the page!

Hi springfall2008, welcome to our forums.

Are you still experiencing issues with the DHCP settings page?

Thanks,

Hi

The issue hasn’t gone away, it does work but the page takes many minutes to load.

I have since put the hub in modem only mode and I’m using a TPLink router instead.

Thank you for the update.

Are the settings with the new router working for you?

Did you try a factory reset of the hub to see if this resolved the issue with the page taking so long to load?

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

I didn’t try a hard reset at that time but I did do one the week before.

I was having problems with multiple WiFi routers sharing an SSID not cooperating well and was just trying to see if any of it was DNS related.

The new TPLink routers seem okay together which is great so I’m all sorted now.

I am glad to hear it is now working for you. If you need anything else just let us know.

The long wait for DHCP page to load, is a feature of the new firmware being rolled out 🙂
