How many satellites does your system have? Did you update the satellites first, then the router? Try doing a factory reset of the router and satellites then reconfigure your system manually. DO NOT use any backup config files as they could contain corrupted info. After you've reconfigured your RBK50, allow about 5-10 minutes for the system to "settle".

Also, how can establish IP address reservations for all of my devices?

You might try a factory reset and set up from scratch and this time, don't use the back up config file.
