Originally, they intended to manufacture high altitude research balloons, but they found sales to be less than expected. The 5 founders were all formally employed by Litton Industries. Pentair was founded in August 1966 as Pentair Industries, Inc., with the name derived from the Greek root word "penta-" (alluding to the company's five founders) and "air" (alluding to the company's original product), and went public several months later. Its fiscal year 2021 revenues were US$3.8 billion and it employs approximately 11,250 people worldwide. Now the company's primary focus is on residential, commercial, industrial, municipal and infrastructure and agriculture applications. On April 30, 2018, PNR announced that it had completed the separation of its Water and Electrical businesses. PNR was reorganized in 2014, shifting the corporate domicile from Switzerland to Ireland. Pentair was founded in the US, with 65% of company's revenue coming from the US and Canada as of 2017. How disappointing that the current firmware still does not provide a rock-steady DHCP server.Pentair plc ( PNR) is an American water treatment company incorporated in Ireland with tax residency in UK, with its main U.S. I looked around this community and I am not the first to report this problem, which apparently dates back to 2015. It somehow fails to behave properly, failing to respond correctly to certain DHCP requests from certain devices. There is clearly something defective about the DHCP server in the RV320 router. They can obtain an IP address when plugged in to any other router, but they cannot obtain an IP address from the RV320. They tend to be older devices, manufactured a few years ago. But when I plug it in to my local network where the RV320 is the DHCP server, it is unable to obtain an IP address.īut I have half a dozen other devices which run into the same trouble. It can obtain an IP address when it is connected to any other router. Yes the devices that are unable to obtain an IP address from the router are devices that really really are connected to the LAN network of the router.Īn example is an EZ-11b smart plug. No, I did not screw up and turn off DHCP server function on the router. No, I have not used up all of the IP addresses in the DHCP pool. Some devices are able to get an IP address from it, and other devices (mostly older devices) are not.įirst let's get all of the usual blame-the-customer things out of the way. I am using firmware v1.4.2.19 on the RV320 router.
