RBR20 Cannot add static IP address - Bad Gateway

I have been running an ORBI RBR20 mesh for several years, and have various devices with static IP addresses.

 

Recently I tried to add another static IP address for home automation purposes, but I am now facing this 'Bad Gateway' error when I click the 'ADD' button

leads to

 

 

I have tried two different browsers.

Is it a known issue?  Any ideas?  I am on the latest firmware version.

Thanks!

      Have you turned the router off and back on again?

        Thanks for replying.  I had not tried that yet as the router was in use all day.  I have tried it now.  It came back and went into a state where it detected no 'attached devices' and neither of the two satellites - though the network itself worked fine.  Hence I could not add any static IP addresses, though the add button did work (i.e. not bring up the HTTP 400 error).

         

        However another button brought up a similar HTTP 500 Internal Server Error page.

         

        I rebooted it all a second time and it came back to a fully working state.

         

        So looks good for now, but I hope these issues aren't a sign of the end of the router life coming.
