I know you're addressing someone else's comment, but can I get a little help with my issue too? I created this post MONTHS ago, and have yet to get a response from Netgear. My issue has not gone away, and the CAX30 is in desperate need of a firmware update.

- I am having this exact same issue. Please update with resolution. Latest firmware offered no relief to the issue.
dharris3- I was never able to resolve the issue with reserving IP addresses in DHCP. Someone suggested to me a few months ago that manually assigning an NTP server to keep the CAX30's internal clock updated worked for them, but doing that didn't fix the issue for me personally. I gave up trying to reserve IP addresses for my devices and eventually ended up doing a factory reset on the CAX30, and now I just let the DHCP auto-assign them all so I can have working internet.
Did you try setting a small default DHCP IP address pool size? Try 192.168.1.100 to .200 and see if IP Reservations work for you?
