ORBI not properly associating static IP
Hello! I've been trying to use the Address Reservation feature under Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup. I have a PC that is hardwired (Ethernet, not wireless) to the RBS50 satellite (not the base RB...
I know this is an old thread but I was having the same problem with reserved addresses not getting assigned. I tried the "trick" of changing the DHCP addresses from x.x.x.21 to x.x.x.254 TO x.x.x.21 to x.x.x.100.
Restarted the devices that were not getting the addresses I wanted and it all worked. I had tried restarting the devices prior to changing the auto assigned addresses range and it did not work at that time. Only after changing the range of the auto addresses.
I know enough to know that should not change the addresses I wanted reserved. Nothing was assigned in the >100 range in the first place. All I know is it solved my problem.

With 250 IPs to choose from, there is no fear of "running out" of either. For example, 2-100 for assignments and 101-250 for DHCP is a common practice.
Going back to this, it looks like the RBR50 does not support the setting up of a range, does it?
Static routes are an entirely different concept than assigned IP's.
