DHCP Address Reservations Corrupting MAC address
The DHCP reservations based on MAC address worked OK up until line item 112 in my list (oh the joys of IOT) and then none of my MAC addresses got stored correctly. From a Safari browser on Catalina...
I have 73 reserved DHCP addresses so for fun I added test addresses until I reproduced your issue. On my RBR850 I can set up to 113 reserved addresses successfully. After that, the 114th reserved address gets truncated (see attached screenshot). There does seem to be a limit on how many reserved addresses you can set.
I thought it might be a limit on the total data size so I truncated a bunch of my device name strings (to "make room" for more reserved addresses). It did not make a difference - My 114th address still gets truncated in exactly the same spot (3 characters short of the full MAC address).
My Orbi is way past expired warranty so I will not be reporting this bug to them or do any further testing.

Happy to work to figure it out. Equally, there are a few of us using this network for work and college, so keeping it available when needed is high on my list to resolve the issue
