ORBI not properly associating static IP
Hello! I've been trying to use the Address Reservation feature under Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup. I have a PC that is hardwired (Ethernet, not wireless) to the RBS50 satellite (not the base RB...
I know this is an old thread but I was having the same problem with reserved addresses not getting assigned. I tried the "trick" of changing the DHCP addresses from x.x.x.21 to x.x.x.254 TO x.x.x.21 to x.x.x.100.
Restarted the devices that were not getting the addresses I wanted and it all worked. I had tried restarting the devices prior to changing the auto assigned addresses range and it did not work at that time. Only after changing the range of the auto addresses.
I know enough to know that should not change the addresses I wanted reserved. Nothing was assigned in the >100 range in the first place. All I know is it solved my problem.
You are correct about this not working correctly for me either. In my case like one mentioned previously when I reserved the address of the device in my case a Roku Ultra it caused the device to ask for another ip address and assigned it a different ip then the one it was using and I had reserved. This is clearly a very simple concept that should work on a $600 nearly top of the line Orbi Mesh network devices. For people to say here is the work around or use the ISP solution that is garbage. Why would Netgear Orbi put in the GUI that you can do this if they didn't intend on it working. Netgear needs to make this work as more people will need this depending on their home automation systems and I would think that Netgear Orbi's would want to be doing what they say they can do and more to entice new customers and keep their old ones.
What Orbi model do you have?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
