[Full System Log Attached]


My System Log is flooded with this message : [dhcps]Lease host name not found. It's happening with all the devices connected to the router. I've also noticed when it happens with an IP, the device with that IP looses internet connection for a short period of time like 30 seconds or sometimes even looses the WiFi signal. My DHCP setting is pretty basic without any modification to the defaults

Most of the time there's 5 to 6 devices connected. Sometimes there's 1 to 2. I have a computer which is connected via Ethernet. The problem can also be seen there. I've tried factory resetting the router and configuring it from scratch. But to no avail, The problem returned after some time later. I've also tried mailing TP LINK and they are yet to respond. Posted it on their forum and no replies so far.


My educated guess is the problem lies within the firmware or might be a bug. The problem is really really problematic when you need a stable connection. Please help me how to solve it if the problem is from my end.


Thanks in advance

Edit : The frequency of the WARNING : [dhcps]Lease host name not found is increasing. New Syslog 2nd attached

How do you not have a gateway or DNS? Do you have another server handing that info out?

It's default I guess.

Probably don't want your public facing IP and routers MAC just floating around the interwebs. Minimal risk but still unnecessary.

TP - Anything

1st mistake....

2nd mistake... as noted already......posting your network info on here, or anywhere else for that matter......

Probably won't matter though, as those routers are crap and will most likely die unexpectedly at any moment anyways, then you won't have any internet & will need to go buy a REAL router to get back online, hehehehe....

But in all fairness, what that error message really means is that all of those peeps you were trying so desperately to hide from have found you and decided that you are not worthy of having internet access in any way, shape or form

That's not remotely true but.. ok

Google-fu seems to point to this being a fairly common issue with tp-link stuff. Only recommendations I have would be a factory reset and firmware update (the C24 doesn't seem to be supported by any of the good open source firmwares like DD-WRT). Beyond that going with a better brand because the last post isn't wrong in TP not being very good support wise.

They're clearly shit in terms of after sale service. They didn't reply to my email and not even a single response to my thread on their forum after almost 4days?? I won't recommend to go with TP Link to anyone in near future
By the way, What do you guys think about D-Link? I had a good experience with my last router

In the past 10-15 years or so, I have had great experiences with the following brands (in descending order of satisfaction)

1. Netgear
2. D-Link
3. Belkin
4. Linksys

Now, I'm not saying that any of these are the ultimate pinnacles of consumer routers, but they have each been reliable, reasonably fast, easy to configure, and reasonably affordable too. So they check most of the boxes that most average users (which I am not 1 of but just sayin) usually look for (or should be)...

Also @ShiBDiB... my comment about the peeps finding them was meant to be humorous, hence the rolling smiley, in case you missed it
