Welcome to the community! :)
Be reminded that each time you set a new configuration in each VLAN, you need to click on Apply. Otherwise, the configuration is not saved.
My question is : can I have the same MAC address reserve static DHCP assignments on the different VLAN's? For example, my Macbook pro would normally connect to the family network (wired or wireless). When I want to manage a network device (Orbi or switch), I would connect my Macbook (or iPhone) to the wireless admin network, and then connect to the management IP I assigned to the Orbi router (or netgear switch, etc.). Since the device will be on different VLAN's this should be a viable configuration since each VLAN will have a DHCP service in different IP subnets.
About this scenario, the MacBook Pro will not receive the IP reservation in each different VLAN.
