Good morning. I have two D7800 Nighthawks - one acting as the primary router and the other in bridge mode (5GHz) with various wired devices connected. At the moment the wirelss bridge is working but I cannot reserve the MAC address of the bridged router in the reservation table of the primary D7800 i.e. 192.168.1.100. The connected devices do set the static addresses without issue i.e. 192.168.1.101-104. At present the DHCP is issuing 192.168.1.4 which I can access in the browser until I power on one of the wired devices and it then assumes that IP address e.g. 192.168.1.101. In doing so, the 192.168.1.4 cannot be accessed via the browser (Opera) anymore.
Note: The IP address I enter into the reservation table of the primary D7800 is sourced from the attached devices table (e.g. AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:80) which is interestingly different to the two MAC address the secondary router has in the status table prior to bridging mode being set (e.g. AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:7E & AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:7F). Apologies if this is too vague vague and lacking in details but it is difficult to reiterate given networking is a fickle beast! Any ideas?
