  • Do the client devices maintain the same MAC address each time they reconnect?

     

    Also, when you added the address reservations, did you apply the changes and then ensured that the client devices disconnected and reconnected to the AP? Some devices will attempt to use the same DHCP provided info, ignoring further DHCP changes provided by the router until they are forced to reconnect and acquire new DHCP info.
