R7000 DHCP creating multiple IP addresses for one device
I noticed that my R7000 is creating multiple IP addresses for an Apple Airport Extreme (3rd gen) and an Apple Airport Express (2nd gen). When I view the Access Control list, it shows both devices ea...
Glad it's working again,
I think static and reserved get confused more often than not. Some think they are the same which they are not. I believe using address reservations is the best way to avoid problems on SOHO networks, If you want to assign same IP's to certain devices. This also let's you leave all devices to DHCP when on home network they are assigned a specific IP and when traveling you don't have to change settings.
I use 30 reserved addresses and the DHCP works fine and doesn't need any special settings to avoid the reserved IP's. Not sure I understand the setttings you selected for the two apples But, the thing to remember is ONLY one DHCP server per network.

Technically, you can use more than one DHCP server per subnet, so long as their address ranges do not overlap. This could be necessary if there are more than 32 wireless clients on a wireless band, because that is the limit on Nighthawks. As IoT (Internet of Things) devices, like thermostats, IP cameras, streaming video players, home stereo receivers and home automation controllers, become more popular, this limit can be easily exceeded.
