hi
yes i can replicate your issue as the same happens here but the work around is to use the reserved ip address from the router instead of static ip
go to advanced / setup / lan setup
add the ip addresses of the devices you want to have the same address everytime into Address Reservation

OK this works as a "Work Around" yet is not a "solution" for the root cause of the issue.
I hesitate to click the solution button as then this might give any Netgear support person the idea that there is 'not' a problem that still needs to be resolved.
I am now having yet another issue that I believe I'll need to opena new thread on that is also related to these satellite units and their direct connected computers.... My Epson Work Force printed that is connected to WiFi no longer can see my computer that is directly connected to the satellite.
