Orbi RBR50 error message fixed IP address
I'm trying to assign fixed IP addresses to some of the devices connected to my Orbi RBR50 router. I'm using version V2.1.2.18 of the firmware. I think I should be able to set this up under "ADVANCED"...
You you guys running in this? https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/orbi-rbk50-RBR50-plus-two-RBS50-cannot-set-address-reservation/td-p/1524528/jump-to/first-unread-message
Or is this problem different?
Are you setting up a new name with reservation? How many characters are you using when you go to set up a reservation and hit save?
Steps you outlined are correct.
After you updated to 2.1.2.18 did you hard reset (paperclip) the router and satellites?
Did you manually set the system up after reset or load a backup from a prior firmware version?
Are you trying to assign an IP address that is currently in use by another device?
I personally changed the DHCP scope to 192.168.xxx.101-.179
I used DHCP reservations of .149 and .150 using the method you outlined.
I also statically assign IPs on devices themselves that are outside the DHCP scope (e.g. printers and NAS's).
