Good day/afternoon/night!
Well, the problem is pretty weird so i'm gonna try to be as clear as possible.
Lets call modem-routers by MR#1 and MR#2. Both are connected between them by an ethernet cable.
MR#1 manages internet connection, DHCP and provides wired connection to 2 PC's, and 2.4 and 5ghz wifi coverage in certain rooms (the printer needs 2.4Ghz).
MR#2 extends the network to another 2 wired PC's and a laptop via 5Ghz only wifi.
The problem is, when i connect to MR#1 via wifi, and then switch to MR#2 due to wifi range limitations, MR#2 won't let the device get an IP, of course, no internet connection.
I tried using a static IP and it connects to the wifi AP, only to be able to use lan functions, but still no internet.
The only way to get internet again from MR#2 on that device is waiting around 5 minutes to get everything back to normal, until i switch to MR#1 and then... it happens again. Exactly the same time, always.
Disabled DHCP on MR#2 at setup time.
Disabled UPnP, nothing changed.
My smartphone says the following error: "network_selection_disabled_dhcp_failure", so... I assume my smartphone says "hey! dhcp is not working for some reason" and after 5 exact minutes "Nvm, it works" and gets back to normal.
Wired devices work normally.
Same thing happens with my laptop, so i think it must be a routing issue.
It seems like MR#2 won't let you access to MR#1 DHCP for some reason.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
