Cisco 1852E Mobility Express APs auto switch from static IP to DHCP

Hi All

My office have bought 3 AP AIR-AP1852E-S-K9.

I did configure AP1 to mode: AP & Controller with ME controller IP 10.155.241.5 - AP1 10.155.241.6

AP2 and AP3 to mode : AP only with AP2: 10.155.241.7, AP3: 10.51.241.8

In LAN, we only use static IP without any DHCP server.

After I finish, all are OK.

But whenever if any users accidentally plug new wireless router/modem (as TP-Link) or any equipment has DHCP-server  function to LAN, AP2 and AP3 immediately change to DHCP (192.168.1.x/24), and so lost connection ME.

I have to found and unplug the DHCP-server quipment out of LAN, and reboot AP2 and AP3, after rebooting AP2 and AP3 back to static IPs (10.155.241.7-8).

But if any one connect DHCP-server again to LAN, the issue occurs again.

I did try Mobility Express OS 8.2.130 and 8.3.102 on all 3 APs but cannot resolve issue.

Please advise us if this is bug of ME OS or the configuration? Thank you very much.
