R7000 - IP Address Reservation settings won't save.

Still true. A vague description of what does _not_ happen is less
useful than a clear description of what _does_ happen.

8. Click the Apply button.
It's the green one that says "Apply".

It's fine. What your web browser does with it is an argument between
you and your web browser (about which I know nothing).

Worst case: Save it someplace, and then open the (newly saved) file.
1 Initial conditions:
All devices blocked except T1700 and TOWER, both of those are computers. TOWER is shut down. Internet is connected through the R7000. Routerlogin.net is not accessable unless Internet is connected.2 At [Advanced] [Setup] [LAN Setup], pushed the [Apply] button. The attachment shows the page just prior to pressing [Apply]. After apply, finished I rebooted the R7000.
3 Reconnected the network to the Internet. Login to routerlogin.net. This produced:
"Windows has dectected an IP address conflict"
In Event Viewer: [Error] "The name "SERVICCO :1d" could not be registered on the interface with IP address 192.168.1.2. The computer with the IP address 192.168.1.1 did not allow the name to be claimed by this computer."4 In Genie network map, 192.168.1.2 is the T1700, the name of the Windows 10 computer that I am running. Apparently the R7000 router blocked the computer I used to give instructions to the router!!!
5 Startup of TOWER (00:04:5A:80:4A:2F), IP is unchanged at 192.168.1.9
