DHCP address reservations had not been respected
I am having similar issues with a RS280 and firmware 1.0.6.16.
We recently had an extended power outage that outlasted my UPS. When the power returned, most of the DHCP address reservations had not been respected. Looking at the reservation interface, all of my established reservation entries were there, but the attached devices list showed randomly assigned IP addresses.
I did a power cycle on a couple of the devices and they were assigned the proper IP addresses. But that's a non-starter.
I will double check, but I believe that all of the misassigned IP addresses were for wired connections.

Has a factory reset and set from scratch been performed since last FW update?
What brand and model# are these ethernet devices?
Are all ethernet devices connected beind the RS Router or is there a LAN switch in between the router and these ethernet devices?
Brand and model# of the ISP modem or ONT that the RS router is connected too.
What is the IP address subnet your using for the Router? Defailt 192.168.1.2 thru .254?
