![]() In such case, the virtual MAC address needs to be manually retrieved. The problem exists only when the router does not have an Attached Devices page. Tl dr - If you need to reclaim an IP address reservation for a device that has left your network, the only way to do it is to set the orphaned device’s IP address to something you’re not using, apply the change, and then you can apply the desired IP to the new device.ĮDIT: Update, this has been fixed in v5.0.29 - thank godĢ) Added DHCP Reservation in Services, allowing pre-configuration and support for reserving IP addresses outside the DHCP Range. Generally, the correct procedure is to disable the Access List, connect the clients to the router through the Extender and then add the MAC addresses on the Attached Devices page. From what I’ve read online, v5 will also have a single dedicated page that shows all DHCP reservations, like every home router has had for the last 20 years. ![]() It’s pretty terrible but it is a workaround. The only solution I found was to set the Fixed IP address to something at the very end of my range, basically creating a list of orphaned addresses. Looking to replace my old router with a TP-Link Omada series router. You also can’t clear the values form the IP address and then save it, as it gives an error. What is the IP Address for Spectrum Modem The default IP for any modem is 192. Rebooting the router/DHCP server doesn’t free it either. You’d think if you turned this off and clicked Apply that the IP address would go back into the pool of available address, but it does not. If you don’t know the MAC address, you have to manually sort by IP address and then page through until you can find the IP address.Įven if you’re able to find the past connection and open the sidebar, simply unchecking “Use Fixed IP address” and clicking Apply will not free the IP address. If you know the orphaned client’s MAC address, you can search for it in the Past Connections tab under Insights. Note that you can’t search the lists in the insights tab by IP address, even though the IP address is displayed in the table, which is crazy to me. I found it’s possible to get to the sidebar by going to the Insights Tab (light bulb icon), then searching for the device’s MAC address. Normally I would go to the “Clients” tab in the navigation and then get to the side panel for the client which shows the Use Fixed IP address checkbox, but that’s not available because since the client is disconnected, it is not in the list. The Omada SDN software will say the address is in use. If you assign a fixed ip to a device and then it leaves your network, it appears that there is no way to recover that IP address and assign it to a different device. ![]()
