Can not create a static route to single IP (Orbi 2.0.0.74)
When adding a static route to a single IP it is not applied. I'm trying to block access to certain IP's by adding static routes and directing them to the local interface on the Orbi.
I enter the IP, Subnet 255.255.255.255, Gateway 10.0.0.1 and Metric 2. I press apply but it does not. Does not show up in the list of static routes.
(10.0.0.1 is the Orbi's internal IP)
If I enter the same IP and a 24bit subnet (255.255.255.0). Press apply and it is applied and saved. Shows up in the list of static routes.

Doesn't work. No matter what you put in other fields, using subnet mask 255.255.255.255 does not work.
My workaround for now is using 255.255.255.252, but it's not a solution as I'm blocking addressess that I don't want to block. I want/need to be able to route a single IP.

Re: Can not create a static route to single IP (Orbi 2.0.0.74)
Does indeed. The built in help even specifically mentions using 255.255.255.255 to route a single IP. 😕
Since this is my first netgear box, and only bought it friday, what is best to do? Does netgear support follow the community forums; should I put in a call; or is there some bug report form?

Good luck. I wouldn't hold your breath on getting a fix in a timely manner.

Re: Can not create a static route to single IP (Orbi 2.0.0.74)
I found a better workaround.
Enable telnet through the debug page. http://orbilogin.net/debug.htm
Connect via telnet and set the route manually via "ip route" or "route"
Add to /etc/rc.local to set them to be static.
There is a file, /var/StaticRoutesList, where I can see routes from the web interface being added, but not sure if that one can be modified. I tried to add a static route in there but it would not show up in the web interface, and when I added a new route there, my modification vanished.
