Hello CrimpOn
Might not be a way to do this with rebooting can you assign it .17 and change any port forwarding you have to the .17 could be the easiest way.

I actually rebooted the camera, and it got the SAME IP again. I'm not an expert on DHCP, but my GUESS is that inside the DHCP request, the device says, "I'm using this IP, is it OK to keep using it?" and the router just says, "sure, go ahead" without checking its internal reservation table. Actually, that doesn't seem possible, since the device has rebooted and it should remember only that it is configured to use DHCP to get an IP address. Feels to me more like the Orbi says, "Hey, I remember you. You were using this IP, so keep on doing that", and doesn't bother to check the reservation table.
I solved the problem by assigning that IP to another device and restarted THAT device. Everything was a bit crazy for a few minutes, and then both that device and the camera got the IP's I wanted them to have.
