Possibly a bug. I can't seem to find the place in the UI where I can delete reserved IP address from the device I no longer have. Now when I attempt to assign new device to that IP address I get duplicate error. Is there any other way besides resetting the router?

[FurryNutz]

You should be able to slight the Reserve slider bar back from enable to disable and that should un-reserve the IP address. Then Save the setting.

[slakkr]

Yeah, if that would be that easy I wouldn't ask the question.  The UI of this router doesn't show the device which is not currently connected and since I don't have the device I can't make that box appear so I could see that slider.

[FurryNutz]

Hmm, interesting...I guess we need to remove any reservations before disconnecting devices that we won't be using any more before the device is no longer needed...I presume this isn't correct behavior. You may need to avoid this one Reserved IP address. I presume a factory reset would clear the hidden reservation. I'll ask and see if there is any information on this. I've packed my 880L up for shipping on loan to a ISP for testing. So I can't verify this. Maybe others can. I'll post back if I get some information.

There is no way to see which IP addresses are reserved unless you click each one and if it's offline it's gone from the list.

[FurryNutz]

Ya sounds like something is missing. I presume for now, before you disconnect any device from the router, even if your not going to use it any more, would be best to disable the reservation ON the router first. Save settings so that the IP is freed up. I've passed this along to D-Link for review. Please be patient.

Thanks for following up on this. I was just about call them to submit as an issue.

[FurryNutz]

I recommend doing so...At least it will help let them know that there is an issue. Talk to level 2 or higher support...
Let us know what they say...

[slakkr]

Just did, got the guy who was taking note on my previous issue with loop back. He said he'll try to reproduce it and call me back.

[FurryNutz]

Kewl. Thanks for the info. Hope they can reproduce...

Keep us posted.

[slakkr]

He called me back, said they could reproduce it and will fix it in the firmware. Not sure how long it takes, but at least it's good news.

[FurryNutz]

Awesome...ya. Might give it a month or two...they just released one last last year. Would need to develop a fix, test it fully.

For now, just remember to disable the reservation before you disconnect any devices that you not going to be using any more.

Thanks for following up.

Same problem here. Really missing a list view of reserved ip's.

Next firmware hopefully.

[FurryNutz]

The problem is being reviewed by D-Link and is aware of it. We hope the next FW update will fix this.
Please be patient.

I am surprised twice by this. First of all, this went unnoticed for quite a while since the router was released and this is nothing new, it's an obvious feature that every router should have regardless being high or low end device where you can easily see and manage reserved addresses.
