Model :

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP : BT Infinity

Just setting up a new Archer VR2800 as a replacement for a BT HomeHub 5, and so far everything seems to be going well, even got IPv6 up and running with no hassles. Then, when I'm trying to reconstruct the IP address reservation table I use on my internal network, I seem to have hit a bug in the web interface of the router. Got the first nine addresses put in no problems, so fully populated the first "page" and then one entry on the second page. When I try and add the next entry, I get this:





If it's not clear, there is a grey box over the data-entry fields, making it impossible to add the MAC address of the device and the required IP address. I've got the same error on Safari (Mac), Google Chrome (Mac / Win10), Firefox (Mac / Win10), Microsoft Internet Explorer (Win 10) and Microsoft Edge (Win 10). Tried restarting the router, the client computers, all with no change. Anyone got any idea how to get around this bug as I've got another 30 or so reserved IPs to set up!

There is no newer version of the firmware available from TP-Link, this router is only on it's first release.

Thanks for the info! We just did a test on our lab and found the same issue. We are now trying to fix it. Please give us some time. We will go back to you once we find a solution.

Any update on this yet? I need to add 12 IP addresses to my VR2800 for security cameras.

Same problem with my Archer VR2800. I updated firmware as well. What else can I try?

Same problem here. I just posted another topic for my VR900. Surprising this bug can be on multiple routers and STILL be outstanding, well at least it is for me on the latest firmware I can get for my router.

Looks like there is a new firmware version available which should fix this issue although I haven't tested myself yet.

Bug still there on my new VR600, which apparently has the latest firmware (as at Dec 2018)

 

Firmware Version: 0.2.0 0.9.1 v0074.0 Build 170504 Rel.68210n

Same here on VR600 with the latest firmware (0.2.0 0.9.1 v0074.0 Build 170504 Rel.68210n)

 

I have 9 entries in the address reservation list and any attempt to add more faces the reported "gray box".

It seems I am hitting a limit.

Same here on VR900 with  'latest' firware, which is a joke as it's from March 2017.  Very poor and means I'll be sending this back and buying a router from another manufacturer.
