DHCP Reservations and rebooting router?

I set up my new RBK852s yesterday.   However, I'm puzzled why the firmware must reboot with something simple like a DHCP reservation.  That seems unnecessary.

 

Anyone know why this is the case?   Otherwise, on any *NIX system, you just HUP the daemon and it re-reads -- simple.

  • Most Orbi systems do this. Something NG puts in for unjnown reasons. Possible to ensure the changes are added and IPTables are updated and the system works well.
