  • Same DHCP issue with this release.  Same fix for both me and several colleagues with XG Home.  First the upgrade automatically re-checked "Use Device's DNS settings" and then it was handing out bad gateways and clients would drop off after X amount of time.  Bounce of the layer-2 forced all new DHCP requests and that stabilizes it.  This issue only started with 17.5 for me.
