So it would appear that the DHCP Address Reservation only uses the Device's Name, whereas in the Attached Devices section, it uses Device Name and Model. This creates an unneccesary step of having to look at a different page to match my devices if they decide not to share their name (Apple devices do not by default). Thankfully, I am not working with many devices, but still frustrating. I would like to see Netgear implement a feature that, if the Device Name isn't available, but the Model is, it use that as the Device Name.
