MR44's using DHCP IP address but I have a static IP setup - WHY?

[hockey]

I have a new deployment of 23 MR44's.  7 have the static IP address info I assigned in the dashboard.  The other 16 are using a DHCP IP address for some reason instead of the static IP address info I assigned them like the other 7.  What gives?

How do I get the rest of the MR44's to take the static IP address?  I've tried rebooting them but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

Take a look at this.

The only way I could fix the problem was by removing the vlan setting under Edit for the AP. Once removed the AP accepted or changed to the static IP address.

It means that your VLAN is not tagged.

Hello @hockey ,

Please be informed that this issue occurs when the MR device is not able to receive an ARP response from the configured gateway IP address. In order to maintain the dashboard connectivity the MR would have failed back to the DHCP, however, the device will be still sending ARP requests to your default gateway IP address.

So, I would suggest verifying the VLAN tagging on the management interface as well as the switch port to which the AP is connected.
