Restarting changes subnet

NethSecurity

Hello Community,

I got a weird one for ya.
This is the basic view of my network.

Everything is runs fine, except when I have a power outage or I restart NethSecurity router.
As you can see in the image, my Local subnet is set to 192.168.0.0/24 in NethSecurity.

Both the Access points (TP-Link & Tenda) are set to AP mode, meaning they get IP from upstream router i.e, NethSecurity.

But when I restart NethSecurity, it takes 192.168.1.1 from either Tenda or TP-Link.
Even tho i have specified that only eth5 is WAN, and rest everything is LAN.

How do i go about troubleshooting and fixing this.

Look for udhcpc in /var/log/messages to see who gave the IP address.
I suspect cabling problems.

Turns out it was not an issue with NethSecurity at all.
Both the access points creates their own subnet if upstream router is not detected while booting.

And I was checking from my phone and mac, both were connected to Wi-Fi. Over the weekend I checked from LAN connected computer and Zimaboard(NethSec) is working fine.

Thanks for the steps, it turned out to be really helpful while troubleshooting.
