Reserving IP's on Netduma causing it to implode.

[banjo22]

Hi all,

 

This has three times now and is seriously tempting me not to use the thing anymore. I am quite maticuous with my LAN and want all devices connected to have a reserved IP.

 

For some reason over time my Netduma gets itself in a paddy when I reserve an IP it doesn't like. I have to assign myself a static IP on my hard wired laptop to get back on the thing and it kicks all wireless devices off.

 

Any ideas why this happens? I have to factory reset it usually as I really can't be bothered going through each IP to see what it doesn't like nor do I have the tools of checking why it's doing this. I have around 40/50 networked devices in my home.

 

You'd think I could remove the last reserved IP device but this doesn't seem to fix things.

 

Thanks

I think I've sorted it. Removed a load of reserved IPs in the last few days and weeks. Obviously I want them to be reserved again so need a fix/solution why this is happening?

Not sure why it is happening but I want to say this has happened to me as well.  The R1 does not like reserving alot of devices.  Maybe it's a bug. Causes the system to become unstable over time.  I ended up just reserving mandatory devices. I think if you do not reserve more than 50% of your attached devices you should be fine but I can't guarantee this.

I haven't heard of this issue before but make sure that all reserved IPs are within the DHCP range set. Also try extending the DHCP lease time to see if that helps.
