RAX80 Firmware Version V1.0.3.102_1.0.48 DHCP issues

I have RAX80 runing on Firmware Version V1.0.3.102_1.0.48.
I have connected a LAN device, EAX80, which received 192.168.2.9 by router's DHCP.
In 'ADVANCED > SETUP > LAN SETUP' I added Address Reservation to 192.168.2.2 and rebooted the router.
The router came up, my EAX80 was not on 192.168.2.2 as expected but rather on 192.168.2.9 which appeared as my mobile phone which was not even connected to the router.

After connecting the phone to the router and refreshing the device table, my phone appeared with a new IP and EAX80 appeared as 192.168.2.9.

I also tried to reboot the EAX80, unplug-plug the network cable of the EAX80. Same behavior every time.
What is going on?

Hi yashago, 

 

Curious to hear, does reverting to the previous firmware version help?

Hi @Christian_R ,

 

Which firmware number would you advice? I will downgrade and check.
