I have a RUT950 (old version) with firmware 00.06.09.5.
DHCP is no longer assigning IP addresses. They have to be assigned manually. Resetting or downgrading the firmware didn’t help.
The LAN1 light is also lit even though no cable is connected.
That is correct, the event log should be empty. This indicates that the bootloader reset has not been sucessfully completed. I would recommend repeating the procedure to see if it yields different results. Note, that if you are unable to complete a reset, this indicates flash memory issues, which can only be fixed by going through the warranty procedure and sending the item in for a repair. Your distributor can assist if the device is still within warranty.
Double-check DHCP server is enabled and configured correctly in the WebUI.
Try connecting a device with a static IP in the router’s subnet to verify network connectivity.
Test other LAN ports and WLAN clients for DHCP assignment.
Observe if the LAN1 LED behavior is consistent and abnormal
