If it's not obvious, the config creates an automatic reservation range where if a client gets an IP address in that range (in this case from 100-177) it automatically gets a reservation. I didn't show it but below, I can see a large number of reservations, some from devices that transiently visited (friends phones, etc). I have the DHCP range (a different page) set to .100 - .254 and have clients with static IPs configured in the 2-99 range. My RBR50 for example has one of the automatic reservations (.109) which is why it's IP address hasn't changed as I upgraded firmware, rebooted, etc. Which I was kinda curious about. I'm gonna turn that off, remove all of the reservations (none of which I care about) and setup a static IP for the RBR and maybe the two RBSs. Or realistically, just

Can those reservations be removed from the modems UI?
- jhoff909Nov 13, 2020Apprentice
Yes, there is a remove button. I have been avoiding touching it until later as if I start, I will get distracted and it's still a work (from home) day for me. But I would want to also turn off the automatic reservations featuer (2nd radio button in the screenshot) at the same time otherwise I assume they will just come back.

Yes something to try over the weekend and yes, turn off auto reservations.
