Ethernet disconnected after dual-booting from Windows 10
Ethernet disconnected after dual-booting from Windows 10

Model: Archer VR600  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 0.2.0 0.9.1 v0074.0 Build 170504 Rel.68210n

The Wired Network is disconnected after dual-booting from a Windows 10 session.

It seems like an issue with the DHCP lease when the MAC address is the same.

The firmware gets stuck with windows part once it has granted a lease on its request.

MAC spoofing in Ubuntu seems to does the trick.

Hello, please click here to get the IP address and gateway after you switched from Ubuntu to Windows 10. 

 

Generally speaking, as long as the Windows PC send the DHCP request, Archer VR600 would response and assign IP address; 

 

And can I say that you can solve this issue by create a different MAC address in Ubuntu via MAC spoofing? 

 

Good day.

Hello. Yes, when a different MAC address is configured with netplan, the issue is solved.

 

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager
  ethernets:
    enp2s0:
      dhcp4: true
      macaddress: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

To clarify, there is no IP assignment when rebooting from Windows 10 to Ubuntu.

MAC spoofing in Ubuntu solves the issue.

Hello, thanks for your valued reply.

 

Cause it cannot obtain valid IP address and gateway automatically, you can try to get it manually via commands. 

 

Othewise, I'm afraid that you need setup different MAC address for Ubuntu as a workaround. 

 

Good day.

Hello. If this is a firmware issue, shouldn't be tested to valify it and TP-Link to provide a fix?

 

Good day to you also.
