IP address for Satellite

I reserved addresses for my two satellites in my router dhcp pool and quickly ran into trouble. I allowed the router to auto assign addresses to the sats and then reserved the addresses that were assigned. The next morning I started having problems and realized that I had an address conflict between one of the sats and another device on the network. Somehow the router assigned a different address than the one I had reserved for the sat. Rather than doing any additional investigation, I just took the reservations off and allowed the router to makes its own assignments from the dhcp pool. Everything works fine, but I didn't accomplish my original goal of always having the same addresses for the satellites. I am using an AT&T Arris NVG599 router for what it's worth.
