Greetings,
Has anyone had trouble with DHCP service to wireless devices connecting to a router through a WAP-200? I have tried several different routers. Some wireless devices have trouble getting an address. Setting a static address on the wireless devices works fine.
Thanks.

That's a good question. I always set them to static myself. I have a WAP200 in my home that has worked flawlessly for several years. Perhpas I can give it a try.
It only matters for administering the WAP. I have, many times, just let them do whatever they wanted and still connected successfully through them. They themselves don't need to reside on the same network as the devices connecting.
Unfortunately the WAP in question is at a remote site and I cannot easily work on it. It is running WPA (or WPA2, I forget if that one has WPA2). Setting clients to static, connections work as expected. When set to DHCP, some clients will not get an address. iPhones get DHCP addresses. It is mostly Windows PCs that seem to have the trouble.
I think this statement applies to pretty much everything in life...
