Two reservations?

unit is actually a rax48 AX6 ax5200 but wasn't in the menu... updated the firmware yesterday.  

trying to reserve two addresses for my cameras that are assigned to an ip address in iSpy software, so when i get a power outage (often) the ip addresses renew to different  ones that the cameras were assigned to... and no picture.

I go to Advanced--setup--LAN setup and click add to assign one ip address...APPLY. HOWEVER if i click to add another ip address for the second camera, it overwrites the first one... it won't let me add a second one.

What am I doing wrong?

    What happens if you add 1 IP address reservation, APPLY the setting, then REBOOT the router. Then go back in and try to add another IP address reservation for the other camera? 

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

    Convinced both devices have different MAC addresses - so adding more than one reservation entry is always possible, like MAC1 <-> IPaddress1 MAC2 <-> IPaddress2
