Issue with Static DHCP assignment (2.1.2.18)
Bug? Scenario: A network device has already been on the network and given an IP address by Orbi DHCP. You assign a static IP (in order to group similar items) which is outside the range of the DHC...
Does it work when your "static" Address Reservation is within the DHCP starting->ending range? I don't think you can tell Orbi to use a restricted DHCP range and then expect that it will vend "static" DHCP addresses outside that range.
I have both types of reserved addresses, i.e., some that are within my DHCP range and some that are outside. But for the latter my clients are all setup to use a static IP (not DHCP) so Orbi is not involved with assigning the IP address to the client.
Would not the fact that a restart of the Orbi router cures the problem prove otherwise.
i.e. After a restart of the router the network device picks up its required (assigned) IP address?
Additionally this is the first router I have had that shows this behavour. Other routers it just works.
