Route Mode with Google wifi

i configured the DHCP range for google primary unit from 192.168.86.2-192.168.86.3, i've 1 router and 2 points.
while adding point, i was able to add 1st point without any issues, however when i try to add 2rd point, it is not receiving ip from primary unit allocated by DHCP range. for troubleshooting i increased DHCP range from 2 to 3ips. example 192.168.86.2 to 192.168.86.4
later added 2nd point to wifi network, it connected without any issues and picked DHCP ip range from pool.
Google primary unit: 192.168.86.1
1st Point: 192.168.86.2
2rd Point: 192.168.86.4
however issue now, some wifi devices are getting DHCP ip left over from Google Primary unit which is 192.168.86.3.
article says allocated DHCP ranges equal to N of points, but it didn't worked me, i have to increase the range to work it.

@Anurag. Sounds like 192.168.86.3 was occupied by another device. Better to disconnect other devices and do IP reservation again.

Thank you!

Still don't understand why Google WiFi refuse to run in AP mode ...

i tried from scratch, AP still not getting ip from primary router's dhcp range. but all good setup is working fine.
