Edit/Add new IP reservations
I have an RBR50v2 Orbi router and 2 satellites with FW ver 2.7.5.6. I have entered 15, or so, reserved internal IP addresses using "Advanced > Security > Access Control". All works well. The is...
Thank you guys for your replies. StephenB, sorry, you are right, I mean Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup.
So if I edit (change existing) an IP address or MAC address using "Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup", I should wait for a period of time for the changes to take place? Any idea of how long (order of magnitude) I will need to wait? I presume the timing is a product of my ISP, but normally 1hr, several hrs, next day?
I should be able to add a new IP address which should take place right away, correct?
Thanks again for all your help.

No, it's not about your ISP. When a client requests an IP address, the router gives the client a "lease period". After the lease period ends, the client asks for another address.
You can try to force the switch by disconnecting the client from the router and then reconnecting it. If that fails, you can power down the client, restart the router, and then power up the client.

If the client is not connected, then the assignment should take place right away.
