Hello, I hope you all are doing well, I'm having an issue where I set an address reservation for devices on my network. The problem I'm having is the router randomly clears some of the reserv...

I ended up getting it to work, There were 2 computers I was trying to setup the reservation on, and both computers I had set them up with wifi, and then when they were fully set up I'd plug them in to with a cable. Once connected with a network cable I'd set the reservation.
I'm guessing because the wireless was still connecting and they both shared the same host name it confused the router and it would just delete the reservation I set.
Once I disabled the wifi on each device (Which i wasn't going to use anyways it was just to initially set it up) and set the reservation I haven't had any issues in the past few days.

You don't reserve an IP address for a computer/device; you reserve an
IP address for a network _interface_. If your computer/device has two
network interfaces, like, say, an Ethernet interface and a wireless
interface, then you can reserve an IP address for each of them. You
can't reserve the same IP address for both of them.Your description of the address reservations which you tried to
define is too vague to permit a diagnosis. - FURRYe38Jun 01, 2020Guru - Experienced User
Ok, yes, having two different connectoions on the 1 PC can be confusing. Keep them appart and reserve an IP address for each of them.
Please mark your thread as solved so other will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
