DHCP Address reservations ignored?
Hi all - In the router config I've reserved configured DHCP to reserve IP addresses for several of my devices. Some of the devices end up using their reserved addresses but some I cannot seem to get...
What FW version are you using?
What is the size of the default DHCP Address pool? If default, try setting the following size:
192.186.1.100 to .200. Then set up an IP address for your devices with in this new pool size. Select Add and Apply. Make sure the devices are set for auto obtain IP addressing. I would reboot the devices after changes are made on the router. After you hit apply, you might want to do a fully reboot then reboot all the rest of the devices.

Thanks, I will give this a shot. I am using the latest firmware (2.2.10.0 IIRC). Right now the DHCP pool is between 192.168.1.2 and 254, but maybe this is incorrect?
Ya thats default pool size. Try the new size and let us know.

1. Please make sure that your reserved IP address for the NVidia Shield is within this range.
2. How did you enter the Mac address of the NVidia Shield? Did you enter it manually or using the table with the list of connected devices that appears when you add a new entry to the DHCP reservations?
3. After setting the IP reservtion you need to restart your NVidia Shield.
