DHCP Reservation Issues
I am attempting to leverage the DHCP reservation functionality in the CODA modem router. However, it does not seem to be working.
Step 1. I go to Basic -> LAN Setup -> DHCP Reservation.
Step 2. I find the device in question in the list, PC001 and I press the "Add" button.
Step 3. I scroll to the bottom of the list and I see the device now PC001 added to the reservation list.
Step 4. I give the device a friend name Mine (making sure that it is unique).
Step 5. I update the IP address to the one I want it to have (making sure that it does not conflict with an existing device, that it is within the DHCP range and on a valid subnet).
Step 6. I press the "Save changes".
Step 7. I wait for the modem to reboot.
Step 8. Release the IP address on PC001 and power cycle it for good measure.
When PC001 reboots, it shows the original address and not the reserved one. When I log back into the CODA modem/router
Step 1. I go to Basic -> Lan Setup -> Connected Devices and push the "Show" button
Step 2. I find PC001 (Mine) in the list.
Step 3. I see that the wrong IP address is assigned to PC001 (Mine) even though under the "Type" heading it shows "DHCP-Reserved"
Step 4. I return to the "DHCP Reservation" menu lookup PC001 (Mine) to see if the desired IP address is was correctly saved.
Step 5. I reduced the DHCP Lease time to 30 minutes.
Step 6. I wait at least 30 minutes and released the IP address once again on PC001 (Mine).
Step 7. Then I power cycle it and I am still not getting the desired IP address.
I have tried the following procedure with multiple devices (desktop, laptops, IoT devices, etc.) and it does not seem to be working with any of them. It does seem to eventual work if I shutdown the modem for at approximately 10 minutes and shut down the devices and only turn them on after the modem has finished rebooting.
Has anyone had a similar issue?

You could try to manually assign the ip on pc001 and then put it back on DHCP as a workaround.
If you wait the DHCP lease time and still have the same ip you should be good.6 -
