LastAxis Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hi, Not sure if known issue but happens every time. In LAN setup Click Add Select Client Click Apply Whilst waiting for it to be added, WIFI goes down and devices lose connectivity. On latest firmware, not prepared to revert back to earlier versions, reset to defaults and setting up again is a pain. if it’s known, will it be fixed in next release?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! It lets you know when you click apply that devices will be disconnected while this applies. So I'd suggest you make all your static IPs prior to clicking apply.

LastAxis Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks for response and advising this is how it has been designed. Just seems strange that reserving an ip causes all devices to disconnect, not sure of the logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 12, 2020 Administrators Share Posted February 12, 2020 I suspect this is so that the devices disconnect while you're making the change and not when the DHCP lease renews and it then switches over to static which could be at any time.

LastAxis Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hi Fraser - that would make sense if all devices disconnect but appears to be only WiFi, wired remain connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably because wired devices can reconnect faster than wireless devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raf1212 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I have the same addition of a static address, devices on an Ethernet cable, disconnects all devices on an Ethernet cable, I haven't looked at wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Alex Posted February 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted February 17, 2020 We'll look into why this is happening. I'm not actually certain if it's expected behaviour or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Netgear routers Ive ever had do this in DHCP reservation so the devices pick up the new IP straight away and the router flushes the old IP is my guess also because its writing this to ram/flash not sure one, but basically its rebooting your Lan and adding new information and Mac addresses and device names. Just add each one then press apply at the end after adding them all not after each one and it will just do it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastAxis Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Appreciate the responses received, did a test last night connected to router via wired and it knocks that out too. To me it’s odd that devices which have reservations already get impacted also, can understand that those without would be impacted. there are checks preventing you from reserving more than one ip per device, so why kill the whole network? Also, the IP address being reserved has already been allocated to the device via dhcp, I’m just adding it to the table as fixed. If I was giving new then yes, I agree it would flush and re-allocate to pool but again, why disconnect everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just how Netgear routers behave, they always reboot when adding DHCP reservations so all existing IP's will be rebooted when adding new DHCP reservations because it cant distinguish between new and old additions to the DHCP pool. Quirk of Netgear firmware I would say. What I meant was add all the DHCP reservations at once, so press add after each new one and enter the next then at the end press apply and it will reboot once.
