Address reservation via config command does not show up in UI
Hello
I have followed the instruction in following article to add almost 50+ address reservation I had after factory resetting the router.
config set reservation<no>="<ip Addrress> < Mac Addrr> <Description>" exectuted successfully.
I validated them using nvram show command and all 50+ shows up there. But I don't see in the Netgear UI ( Advanced-->LAN-->Address Reservation), to apply. I see the devices are taking random IP address even after power cycling them.
I also tried config commit command as well. but it does not show up. How do I get to see them in UI and appplied? Is there way to apply in the telnet session?
Thanks in advance for the quick response.

It has been over a year, but my (dim) memory is that after doing the config commit telnet command, it was essential to open the Orbi Advanced Tab, Setup, LAN Setup page and click on "Apply". (That was in message 1 of the post.)
Thanks CrimpOn
You're correct. The OP suggested I have to hit apply from webpage ( Advance Set up -->LAN). However, I don't see any reservations showing up on the webpage.
Here is the command I am entering.
config set reservation67="192.168.1.82 90:32:4B:92:59:14 Brother Printer - Upstairs"
and it does show up in the output of " config show | grep reservation[0-99]" command.
What am I doing wrong.?
This could be a web page refresh sort of thing. i.e. the telnet session populates the internal tables, then "Apply" on the LAN Setup page makes them permanent and refreshing the LAN Setup page will make them show up. (It has been so long and I can barely remember what I ate for lunch yesterday)
One of the frustrating features of the Orbi is that when it starts up, a lot of things get copied from permanent storage to working storage. The entire web directory (/www) appears from <someplace>. I use a hacked Attached Devices web page that sorts them into order by IP address. Every time the Orbi reboots, my version gets wiped out and I have to telnet in again and reload it. It could be that the "Apply" button is what forces things into wherever the permanent file is stored. (Or, I have no idea???)
I would try this: Open the LAN setup page before doing the telnet work. Click "Apply" on the web page. Then Refresh the web page.
