R8000P - Can't add a DHCP reservation for any MAC (Invalid MAC!)
Router R8000P,
Firmware: V1.4.4.94_1.3.56
OS: Win 11 pro / Win 10 pro
Web browser: Firefox
State of router: After firmware reset/ with or without Armor enabled (no difference).
Tested for: LAN: 192.168.1.100..200
Tested for: LAN: 192.168.2.100..200

I can't assign an IP to any device (using DHCP). Router report: "Invalid MAC!" (??). When will be a new official firmware for R8000P?
UPDATE: There is BETA FW available that fixes this for the R7960P and R8000P model routers.
FYI, the beta fixes the IP address reservation issue.
