X6 R8000 Can not save setting. Bad Request.
Hi! In my Nighthawk X6 R8000 I try to add a new reserved address to the DHCP. When I try to save the new configuration, I get a 400 Bad Request. Looks like a bug to me. My firmware is V1.0.4.84_...
Thank you for your reply FURRYe38 !
I tried different browsers on different Systems (PC, Mac, iPad) until I found the problem.
It looks like a input validation issue in the web frontend. I tried to add a device which was shown in the DHCP server with a device name with underscores "Meross_Smart_Plug". If I replace the underscores with e.h. dashes, it works as intended.
The frontend has no problem with submitting a device name with underscores or blanks but the backend does not accept the request. An input validation seems to be missing. I've found it by trial and error but I think this should not be the intension of the user interface.
What browser are you using? Happens in other browser?
Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering the routers web page.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
There was a problem reported on the R####P series...had not seen this on the non P series models...
Just checked my R8000 with MS Edge and was able to set a reservation for this PC:
No errors seen.

Glad you found the issue. Ya, some blanks and underscore characters can cuase problems. Underscores should work but ya know.
Glad you found the issue.Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
