Yup same with my POS.

Too late.

This feature should be standard. AP-Mode should never run it's own DHCP or allow the end user to toggle it off.

I found a solution for this....

 

Als ik het zo lees, duurt het wel lang voor dit probleem is opgelost. Een AP hoort geen DHCP server te zijn.

Yes come on tplink!

 

2 M4 units just arrived and speechless I can't disable DHCP!! I have a 20 dollar tplink unit flashed with dd-wrt with far better functionality.

 

We all need the ability to disable this.

 

I have a very complex smart home with my main dhcp server set up with a ton of status IP's etc.

This M4 unit should be able to work in router mode with DHCP disabled!

 

You need to release a new software patch for us to have this option.

 

Wasted my money tbh. Should have gone for ubiquiti.

 

Also to note the 2.4Ghz is awful, worse than my TLWR941HP and archer c80. Any reason why the 2.4 is so bad? I've kept the WR941 on just to have better 2.4 strength in my living room.

All smart light switches etc only use 2.4.

Hi, the DHCP on/off button under access point mode will be added to the firmware 1.6.0, and please keep attention to the new firmware notification on the Deco APP;

Thank you very much.

@TP-Link and for Deco S4 (v2.0) currentl rel: 1.4.3 Build 20200918 Rel; 77820 ?

 

Thanks.

@TP-Link In the deco's web page, it is not clear what is the current version (only dates are shown). Looking forward the functionality to disable the DHCP server in AP mode.

 

I will wait a few days until the feature is available, in order to consider purchasing the Deco M4, or to consider an alternative product from another vendor. 

+1, Set my DHCP free.
