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?
Thanks FURRYe38, that worked for me! I checked and the name of the device was 22 characters. When I shortenend the name (under the 'Address Reservation Table' appear three fields when you select a device from the list, the third one lets you change the name of the device) it worked fine! I also checked the names of the devices which I managed to add earlier and they were all shorter than 20 characters.
Good to hear. Glad you got it working.
Enjoy.
