R8000P - Can't add a DHCP reservation for any MAC (Invalid MAC!)

[PeterMarc]

Router R8000P,

Firmware: V1.4.4.94_1.3.56 

OS: Win 11 pro / Win 10 pro

Web browser: Firefox

State of router: After firmware reset/ with or without Armor enabled (no difference).

Tested for: LAN: 192.168.1.100..200

Tested for: LAN: 192.168.2.100..200

------------

I can't assign an IP to any device (using DHCP). Router report: "Invalid MAC!" (??). When will be a new official firmware for R8000P?

UPDATE: There is BETA FW available that fixes this for the R7960P and R8000P model routers.

FYI, the beta fixes the IP address reservation issue.

Ditto to the rest of the messages. I merely tried to change the NAME (not the MAC) and got "Invalid MAC" when it went to apply (ie I didn't even try and change the MAC in the existing entry). (same f/w as everyone else: V1.4.4.94_1.3.56)

Given this bug has been reported for at least 6 months now, it would be helpful to know when or if a fix is forthcoming. 

Regards.

I have this problem too.  Are you able to help?

Hi, I had this issue last year and I'm back here again with the same issue again. If the containment is to downgrade to a previous version of FW, which is the "latest working version"? Seems to be a frustratingly long time to wait for an official fix to this well reported issue.
