There IS beta FW that fixes this. Been out for a while now. Ya I agree, NG should just release it in the next FW update. If there will be one. đź™„

FURRYe38 you seem to be the only one who is actually aware of the existence of a beta release. You keep saying there is a beta, so why not post the link?

A critical function of any router is the ability to assign an address to a specific device, and this functionality is broken.
