AX12 Nighthawk RAX120 DHCP and reserve issues
Hi, I've got several network devices. Both Wired and Wireless. I decided for security reasons to enable Access Control. I took a whole night adding each of my static and dhcp items to it's allow list...

You are not on your own I have these issues too and seem others aswell. Try a pin hole reset it might sort itself abit mines calmed down for now but like you had to reserve ip addresses as dchp poops itself when first connecting.

I've tried, and had to use the pin hole to reset. Thx though.
Sure I was a little vague. Am I talking to the Router police or what.
I have about 125 devices that require IPs. I set about 15 of them static. The others are all anywhere from older 1.2 devices to several 5 GHz. Also have a few WIFI6 devices such as my phone. But to keep it short, DHCP is a mess on this $499 router. Look it up. Several others are suggesting the same thing. This is why Netgear makes us pay for support after so little time. What a racket.
And forget using this community to post frustrations on an important device that works like it was built in china.
