Make sure the device name doesn't contain any special characters like &

I noticed I had the same issue with one of my devices I was trying to reserve. Removing the special character fixed the 400 Bad Request problem.

NG could do a better effort here and print out a more descriptive error message than the generic "400 Bad Request".

About ten seconds after I made my post I changed my router name from Orbi Wan (with space) to Orbi-Wan and that fixed it.

 

Thanks for the reply.  Been a month trying to figure it out

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I have made a CONFIG file now that I have 95% of my devices using an assigned IP now.  Orderly, ah!!
