Hm.. okay well that means it’s making a connection do you have a log of what’s happening when you plug and unplug it from your general log.
Unfortunately, no.On the device does it give you the option to renew dhcp? Not quite sure what the wired device your using is.
Here's and unplug of the device and plug back in from the logOn the device does it give you the option to renew dhcp? Not quite sure what the wired device your using is.
Then what I’d suggest is under static ip under lans dhcp server put your devices MAC address and a static ip and make a IP address up similar to one already on the network but make it a ending number that’s not currently being used. You may need to find the MAC address on the device itself if it’s not listed. Once applied unplug the eth cable for the device and plug it back in or reboot the wired device. That should renew or detect the static ip and force it to the one you set.Unfortunately, no.
I added the MAC address to IP 192.168.50.251.

So that “should” be fine. Does the device detect the set IP address? That’s the question because the logs indicated that it’s forwarding the IP address.I added the MAC address to IP 192.168.50.251. Below is the log after a power cycle

Negative...I attempted pinging it as wellSo that “should” be fine. Does the device detect the set IP address? That’s the question because the logs indicated that it’s forwarding the IP address.
Unfortunately, I don't get past the forwarding state lol. I'm gonna fire up the ol' RT-AC5300 tomorrow and see how she handles it. If no go, I'm firing this device in the garbage. I've exhausted all troubleshooting. I'll let you know one way or the other.View attachment 38706
This is what should happen.
I really appreciate your help. You went well beyond what I would expect from someone. I will compare settings and tomorrow I will do a post after I test on my 5300.Here’s my settings if they don’t wildly differ then I doubt it’s your router but rather that device. If that device can be factory reset maybe it’d help.

What a wild ride that was lol. I have no idea what could have been effecting it, but it definitely sounds like it was the device you were using with those routers being temperamental with dhcp discovery.@DJones I got it connected to the GT-AX11000. I removed it from the 5300 and decided to plug it into the 11000 just to try it again and it connects on the first go. So I then unplug it and plug it back in and it obtains an IP again! I have no idea why but it works now. Must have sorted something by connecting to that 5300. You got me lol
Man, I tell ya lol...All for one device. But it was worth it. Yeah, I don't usually have any issues either and I still have no idea what the issue was there. Anyways, I'm glad I got it sorted and thanks for your help!What a wild ride that was lol. I have no idea what could have been effecting it, but it definitely sounds like it was the device you were using with those routers being temperamental with dhcp discovery.
Since I don’t know what the device is I have no idea what could have caused it, I own a GT-AX11000 and a RT-AX58U and haven’t had any issues connecting to devices wired or wireless except in the instances where I once enabled fast leave or jumbo frames which made my satellite receiver connect and disconnect over and over.
For the most part these devices are plug and play, the nitty gritty stuff is largely hidden in SSH so theirs not much that could break by accident with the exception of a buggy firmware. That said shi*t happens and if you continue only having issues with that router RMA it with ASUS they are awesome with handling warranty, I replaced my 11000 when I initially got it because the led was flickering on all led settings.
