Reserve I.P doesn't work with phones?

[thisisreallife]

I've done reserve IP for every device, but after a week I go onto my Device Manager and I have like 7 'Google Pixel 8' devices with different IP addresses.

Any idea why it's not working for the 3 phones we have in the house?

They'll have the private/random MAC addresses option enabled - check on the actual WiFi details for the R3 on your phone when connected to it and you may see it there, otherwise it'll be in the settings on your phone. Disable the options, re-set your reserved IPs and they should stay.

Sorry for the late reply but what do you mean check on the R3 on the phone?

So my phone that keeps changing IP Address, I use that phone to log onto R3 and then change some settings around?

On the phone, on the WiFi list actually click the R3 network so you get more details/settings for that connection, then disable the private/random mac/addresses option then reserved IPs on the router
