Nighthawk X6S R7960P From Costco
My router is an X6S R7960P purchased from Costco ans currently up to date with the latest firmware.
I have 2 Fire sticks that I assigned a reserved IP, then I decided to swap the locations of the FS, and renamed them on the Amazon website, but I guess once doing that they were assigned new IP's when I moved them around.
So when I went into the router admin section to delete the 2 assigned devices and re add them to be assigned to the new IP addresses, I keep getting an error MAC ID incorrect.
Any suggestions how to resolve this ??

I have no idea what a A65 is. do you have an actual model number?
(ac3600 is a speed)
Why are you setting them with a static ip address?
You went in and deleted their address in the router?
Sorry, it was the info showed when I logged in
It's a Nighthawk X6X (R7960P)
The reason for assigning an IP, is i often got conflicting IP's addresses in the past, so I have since reserved and assigned IP addresses to devices I use often and have to login into at time to transfer files.
And yes, I went to my assigned IP section and simply deleted the 2 FS that were assigned, and then tried to reassign them with the current IP's and same MAC which didn't change
If it's not required, then I'll leave it as is.
Typo in last post, Model is Nighthawk X6S R7960P
If a Mod can edit the first post title and body of post it would be greatly appreciated, it doesn't allow me to do so.
