Im trying to set a DHCP reservation for a MAC from a dell PC. However no matter what value I input for the IP the user interface resets the IP to 0.0.0.0 after hitting the "add" button.

Found the solution. the IP must be in the DHCP range. my range happened to start at x.x.x.100 to x.x.x.253. I wanted a reservation of x.x.x.50. that didnt workhoweverinputing x.x.x.150 DID work.

  Yes to reserve and IP address, it must be in the DHCP IP address range. Anything outside of the IP address pool range can be set for a STATIC IP address which is set ON devices, not the router.

    Your right, I kinda forgot all my networking skills this week. Too bad the UI doesnt remind the user.
