Latest FW 1.4.4.94 does not support Static IP assignments

Hello,

I've seen for quite some time that the firmware, V1.4.4.94_1.3.56, has a known bug where static IP assignment fails; perhaps due to a formatting issue with the MAC address.

This wouldn't be an issue if the DHCP server wasn't so aggressive at reassigning IP's, but unfortunately my IP addresses do change quite frequently, and I cannot reliably expect port-forwarding entries to remain valid for long.

I've read there is a beta version that resolves this problem; does anyone (preferably from NG) have access to this beta that can share this publicly, seeing as this FW has not yet had a public release - this bug has remained live for 10 months now (since 10/06/2022).

Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

EDIT: I should add, the previous version, V1.4.3.88 (here), will allow me to assign static IP's; however, this does reintroduce security vulnerabilities fixed in V1.4.4.94.
