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 reserva...
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.
My RBR50 does not reboot when I add or remove DHCP Address Reservations (using v2.5.1.8 firmware) unless I also click Apply. The Address Reservation table is populated with the Add/Edit buttons even without clicking Apply. I have seen where sometimes the reservation does not work though until the router is rebooted. Perhaps this is because I forgot to click "Apply".

Yes after you ADD the reservation, you have to click Apply. :smileywink: This is when the RBR will reboot itself to make the change.
