Nighthawk R8000P not allowing static IP

I have been trying to set static IP's for my devices in my network and no matter what I try, I always get the same "Invalid MAC address. 8C85807862CC" error.  The mac address I am using is correct but when using [+add] the web interface changes the address removing the : (colon separators).  Any ideas how to get this to work?

    There is a known problem in FW that causes this issue. Sent you a PM.
