[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1833643, member: 402210"] I may finally have an answer. I referred this to a friend of mine who used to be a network engineer at ATT. He said: The shop where DHCP almost always fails uses a cheap ZTE router. When my devices request the IP address they had at the other shop which uses a different IP block but the same SSID, the "argument" never gets resolved and DHCP fails. But, at the shops that use more sophisticated routers, the argument is resolved in favor of an IP address in the IP block that router is using. [/QUOTE]
