Address Reservation not working/ being ignored
Hi all,
I am having an issue where I have reserved an IP address (192.168.1.2) for MAC (B8:27:EB:A1:BA:F5), but whenever that particular device is connected, it just gets assigned an IP addres...

That may not be the most popular firmware version. Have you tried
any other (older) firmware version(s)?I have no recent experience with address reservation on an R7000, so
I know nothing, but your description looks good to me.> [...] I have reserved an IP address (192.168.1.2) for MAC

Is some other device camped on "192.168.1.2"?

A Raspberry Pi? (Which?) Wired or wireless interface? (Each should
have its own MAC address.) And it's using DHCP, not a static address
(for that interface)?

Always the same, or variable, depending on what else is connected?

I'd say that it's probable, but I don't see it (yet), either.

This was it! I went to
cat /etc/network/interfaceswhich had nothing in it. I then went to
cat /etc/dhcpcd.conf
which showed that it was using a static IP.
What would be your suggestion? Change the static IP to 192.168.1.2 or change it to DHCP?
Thank you for your help!
