Hi,
Thanks for your support. I've tried the sollutions suggested. Firmware updated on both satellite and router, disabled randomized MAC and IP privacy. But still can't add the device and I'm getting the same error message as before. It's not a big issue, just annoying so a may just skip to add the iPhone as a trusted deviceWhat iOS is on the iPhone?

Are you trying to add this to the Access Control section of the routers web page?
Thx. I run iOS 17.4 and tried to reserve an IP-address in the router. Still experiencing the same issue though...
