Which DHCP setting is this? There are several related to different DHCPs.
Might help to start with explaining what you are trying to achieve with this setting.

I don't know what you are trying to show there, but that screen shows Address Reservations.
That reserves IP addresses for devices on your network. Look it up in Reserve LAN IP Addresses in the manual.
It sets the IP address that the router hands out to things connected to the network.
Are these the settings that keep changing?
Some people find it easier to fix the IP address on the device itself.
