Have two Vera Plus units on two different networks. Both networks have professional level routers.
Both Vera Plus units have their DHCP Server Turned Off
However, on one of networks, Vera Plus is sending out network signal that Vera Plus is the network’s Router, which it is not.
Setting a computer to use DHCP with manual address on that network ends up with Vera Plus’s IP address as Router IP Address.
Have not been able to find any networking differences between two Vera Plus.
Any ideas as to why Vera Plus on one network is advertising itself as network’s router?
I had similar troubles, Configured Vera Plus static IP, DHCP disabled. Randomily other DCHP enabled devices start going offline.
Same result happnened when i enabled wifi on Vera.
Currently i get over it by doing Net & Wi-fi->Reset to default network settings and configure it to static IP and wifi disabled.
(Do not touch other settings or you need to reset agian)
May be you got same problem, then it should work …
I have tried another computer system that is Wired Ethernet (instead of WiFi attached), and when it is set to DHCP with manual IP; it also gets Vera Plus’s IP address as LAN’s router.
Tried moving Vera Plus’s Wired Ethernet connection to where is connects directly to LAN’s router, instead of going through a switch first. Didn’t help.
Powering off Vera Plus, then setting computer system to use DHCP with manual IP did set computer system to IP OF LAN’s router. However, after powering Vera Plus backup and changing computer system’s IP to different (unused) IP; once again computer system got Vera Plus’s IP address as LAN’s router.
Definitely a problem with Vera Plus taking over LAN and proclaiming itself to be LAN’s router.
Are you able to ssh into the Vera? It’s not really that the plus is ‘taking over the LAN’ it (appears) to be responding to DHCP requests when your other devices are renewing their lease.
If you can use the command line:
ps aux | grep -i dhcp
Should let us know if the internal DHCP server is running (I’m guessing a bit that it’s called dhcpd but got to start somewhere)

A data point: on my VP, with the DHCP server turned off, the only thing running is the DHCP client. This is as it should be. I would suggest using Catman’s command, ps aux | grep -i dhcp, as it will match to both the DHCP server and client.

Thanks for that. I don’t have DHCP on my VP at all, so I get no return.
If you google Open WRT DHCP you might well find some more detail
This could be a good way to start
etc/init.d/odhcpd disable
I’m not sure what else I can do to help since my system is working (i.e. no DHCP serving taking place that I know of) and I can’t see what you have in your config.
