Archer C7 - How to remove stale DHCP reservations?
I have an issue with stale (old) DHCP reservations.
I have a machine, that had a reservation. Then the MAC address of the network card changed. Now the old entry shows up on the DHCP Client List, and I can't create another one for the same IP address for the new network card.
I believe, it is a scenario that is not supported by the current Archer App, and it is a problem.
Current behaviour:
- You connect a device
- You create a reservation
- Time passes
- You replace the device, such that it is removed from the network
- The old device is listed in DHCP Client List - whithout any editing options
- The old device DOESN NOT show up on the Address Reservation list (where it could be edited/removed).
Expected behaviour:
- Existing reservations should show up on the Address Reservation list, regardless of currently being connected or not, so that I can remove it.
I have a faint memory, that it worked like this in an earlier firmware version.
It is an issue, because the IP addresses reserved for devices that no longer exist, eat up the adresss space. I alse have port forwarding rules, that need changing because of this.
