Address reservation table not working
Hello I have 20 address reservations for my ORBI. I recently changed the DHCP end IP address from 0.254 to 0.200. Now my address reservation table is not working. All of the MAC ID's from the tab...
It is an RBR50
The pool range is set from 0.50 to 0.200. Sorry - what are you suggesting I change it to ?
I cannot extend it back to the default of 0.50 to 0.254, I have another router on the network which needs to use DHCP range of 0.201 to 0.254

When devices broadcast a DHCP request, they accept the first DHCP server that responds. If that server has no reservation for the MAC address, it will return a random IP from its "pool".
Having two DHCP servers on the same LAN is a recipe for disaster.
