When I log into my R9000 and check connected devices I see several IP addresses for wired devices that I have long since removed from the network. I would have guessed they would have eventually "fallen off" the network but they're still here - 6 months after the device was unplugged and disposed. My router does not have reserved IP addresses and I do not wish to manually assign any addresses / MAC addresses for all valid devices. Maybe I'm being a little nit-picky - but how can I remove them from the attached device list? I don't want to hard reset the router - which I guess would do the trick. There's got to be a way to do this?

Ok. But I'd expect a simple restart to cause it to forget any old Attached Devices, and start afresh. And, although there have been reports here of some models/firmware versions losing all settings when power is lost, that'd be a defect, not normal operation.

In any case, visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Manage the Router Configuration File". Save the settings which you like, and, barring some other firmware disaster, recovery should be relatively painless.
Good question - hard reset is the "restore factory settings" option (seven seconds holding the reset button with a pin). I lose all my settings (I have several access points and configurations I could re-setup but would prefer not to if there is an easier solution).
