R6400 is not adhering to IP reservation settings
Ever since the latest firmware update, the router has not been correclty setting the IP address for a particular device. The MAC address was selected from a list of options, and the IP address manual...
I reset the router to factory settings, then upgraded immediately to the latest firmware. That resolved both issues I was having.
FYI, I would not trust Netgear to correctly do automatic firmware updates given these issues.

Not a very detailed description of anything. I can't see your
address reservations, or the (appropriate) MAC address of your
(unspecified) "a wireless repeater". Note that if a device has multiple
network interfaces, then each interface can have its own MAC address,
and specifying the wrong one in an address reservation would make it
ineffective. I can't see your Attached Devices report, either.
Copy+paste is your friend.
Here are the reports:Reserved IP addresses
Provisioned IP addresses
The repeater is this device:

What is that address? A device may be configured with a static address, but if it were
"built-in", then such a device would be useless on many networks. It
would need to be changable in some way. Of course, only one of us knows
what your "a wireless repeater" is.
The address that the repeater is taking is 192.168.1.2. It only has 1 interface to the main router.
