Pretty much says it all:
I've a Netgear R7000 with Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r48289 std (02/04/22) std on it.

I'm trying to install that Print Server but 2 of them neither - will grab an IP. I can print out their MAC addresses and was wonder if there was a way to force a temporary IP on them VIA the MAC address.
I've done some reading, but it's years old and seems contradictory.
ANY help?

These are being connected via wired ethernet, I presume? I couldn't find anything about selecting which interface (wired or wireless) can be used to connect to main router/network, but the default is wired ethernet and obtain IP automatically on these.

EDIT: I guess you use WPS setup to connect wireless; WPS setup may be broken in DD-WRT?

Yes.

The directions want a direct connection to the routers ethernet connections so I assume ...

It should grab an IP that I could then get to via the browser - at least that's the way I did it 3-4 years ago with my other one, but it's getting nothing.

I've looked for the MAC in the router, but can not find it.

Use tcpdump to see whether the dhcp request is reaching the router.

You can try to ARP an address to the device.

Can you explain the arp request further?

Nope - something's not set right in the router.
I've a Netgear R7000 now, when I set the other Linksys up, it was a Netgear 6300 - that one worked, the P/S connected and I was able to get to it, this is as if it's not even connected to ANYTHING much less the router.

Is the Switch Configuration missed up?

Post the output of "swconfig dev switch0 show"

How do I do that?

I know a lot, but I'm pretty much lost inside this.

Is this what you requested:

Global attributes:
enable_vlan: 1
ports: 0x01bf
reset_mib: ???
enable_jumbo: 0
allow_vid_4095: 0
************************************ UPdate **************************

Rummaged through my old stuff, that should have been tossed long ago, and found a Linksys router that - temporarily - connected, allowed the P/S to be accessed.
Too bad the printer it was going to be attached to went south 2 pages later.

Thank you for your help!
