C7000v2 does not retain DHCP reservations

Hello, I have created several DHCP reservations.  What I have observed is that the reservation is retained, however the name I assign is ignored. I see that the reservation name reverts to either the devices default name or it shows up as blank.

 

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated!

    What browser are you using to set the reservation? 

    Does this happen with other different browsers? MS Edge or FireFox?

    How are you setting the reservation name? Using any special characters or spaces? 
    Try simple naming conventions.

      Thanks for the reply.  Browser does not matter; I have tried Safari, Firefox, Chrome on my laptop and iPhone.  Also just using simple names such as "RingPool" or "HubitatC5".  The DHCP reservation table accepts the names, but simply ignores them.  In one instance, the name is left blank. That can be seen in the attached image.  Not a big deal, just annoying 🙂

       

      Thanks for any ideas!

        Ok. Not sure if there is any fix for it. Other than to try a factory reset and setup from scratch and see. 

        Otherwise, use for now and maybe at some point, get you a external router that's newer and configure the C series modem for modem mode only.
