Note: this was previously working before router software update.

After the update, did you try a factory reset? 

If that doesn't help, you can always downgrade back to the older version of firmware.

I’ve tried a factory reset. I’ve looked into rolling back the version a bit but is there a way to find older downloads?

you could downgrade the FW, add your reservations, then upgrade again and the settings will stay tho it’s a hassle! 😇

that’s what I’ve been doing with the latest FW and the NTP // Invalid Mac problems! 🙂

the 6to4 was solved with using DHCP server option! 😀

Thanks so much for the quick help. I was getting close to throwing my router and it’s 90s interface into a pond.

I would use the word "solution" carefully.  LOL It did not work for me.,  I am at the latest firmware and this feature worked then but the upgrade, not only broke the feature, but deleted all of my existing address reservations #doublefail

I recommend using last working version of FW. 

This is a known issue and NG IS working on a solution.
