I have installed OpenWrt 19.07.3 in Mikrotik RouterBoard RB750-r2. Using 'dhcp' proto on the wan port does not work properly. If I use another OpenWrt as the upstream router then it receives and sets IPv4 address to the wan port properly.
But when I connect the WAN port of the OpenWrt to the LAN of a Tenda router (active in my house) it (OpenWrt) cannot set the IP address. It seems udhcpc ignores dhcp offers from the Tenda router.
I ran the following commands:
reset; \
NET_IF="wan"; \
NET_DEV="$(uci get network.${NET_IF}.ifname)"; \
ifup "${NET_IF}"; sleep 10; \
tcpdump -v -n -i "${NET_DEV}" udp port 67 or udp port 68 & \
ip address show dev "${NET_DEV}"; \
kill -SIGUSR2 "$(pidof udhcpc)"; sleep 10; \
ip address show dev "${NET_DEV}"; \
kill -SIGUSR1 "$(pidof udhcpc)"; sleep 10; \
ip address show dev "${NET_DEV}"; \
killall tcpdump
and got the following output:

It seems that the format/contents of the DHCP-offer message of Tenda is different from that of OpenWrt.
Note: The OpenWrt (testing router) is configured to use 192.168.10.0/24 subnet because upstream uses the default.
