DHCP reservations not working
Yesterday I added a raspberry pi to my network (running Nagios/NEMS). Every time it rebooted it took the next IP in sequence. That shouldn't happen... Instead of fighting with it, I created a reservation. The behavior still persists.
Thoughts?
I likewise had this issue, and a reboot of the router corrected it. I reported the issue to NG support, and they claimed the system firmware is "glitching" causing this. They admit that the firmware is still a bit buggy with v2.5.1.8 on the RBR50, but have no ETA on when they will have a stable and reliable mesh network.

Interestingly, the assigned addresses do not appear in the DHCP log. It's like the server gets half-way through the DHCP exchange and quits.
OrbiPhilip some RasPi distros or redy-to-run environments are configured to change the network interface MAC addresses with every boot.- try some search, we had this issue (which is not an Orbi problem) several times in the Netgear community already.
