I've had conflicts with devices that will not let go of IPs, even though the default 24 hours has passed, and when I've reserved something else there, it will not connect because the previous device will not let go (and no, the previous device is not set static).
Is there a limit to DHCP reservations in the RBR850? I have removed the reservation and re-added it verifying the MAC address is correct... Hopefully it will grab the IP I've assigned to it instead of hanging on to the previous one, where I now have something else there and it can't get on until such time....
I'm about to just make something else a DHCP server with better management tools if this can't be resolved... come on, Netgear! In 2021, this should work flawlessly and have more robust tools and twaeks for a $1,000 router in the latest technology... Asking too much as consumers, obviously...
