DHCP IP Address assignment MR60
I have been having some connection issues with my thermostats, not to my LAN but to the ecobee servers. I found that reserving an IP address for the thermostats seems to have resolved the issue, but ...

In the DHCP setup, change the starting IP address to a higher number. I use .130.
That leaves the random dhcp assisned number to xxx.xxx.xxx.131 - xxx.xxx.xxx.(whatever the Ending IP Address is set to).
Any Reserved DHCP IP address's you want to assign goes below the Starting IP address. The system will not try to assign a different device to the reserved IP address that way.
Just don't to add a reservation to the same IP as the router is assigned.

Thanks very much for a response. The conflict I was having was before I reserved an IP address, still in the lower numbers. Since I reserved addresses for the two devices, the router has not tried to automatically assign those reserved addresses to any other device. But, if I run into trouble again, your fix looks perfect.
