Edit not working on Address Reservation

Noticed a small bug on model NR701 firmware 1.19.1788.R.

 

OK, its a minor problem and likely only encountered by advanced users.

 

PROBLEM: Inability for the EDIT functionality in 'Address reservation' to apply changes to an existing reserved address that 'stick' after a reboot.

 

DESCRIPTION: If you have ALREADY reserved a specific IP address for a device in the house, such as a home server (using the NowTV Router's ADVANCED -> LAN IP SETUP -> ADDRESS RESERVATION)  and then, at a later date, you decide to move that address or edit the IP, then you might assume the nowTV's web address reservation page's EDIT button (next to ADD EDIT DELETE) would be the logical choice?.  Well, it should, but it appears that a new edited value, when applied and rebooted does not actually get applied  and instead reverts back to the old address.

 

WORKAROUND.  You have to DELETE the old device IP and MAC - keeping a note of the MAC address -  Reboot.  Then ADD the new IP,  Mac Address and name of Device. Again Reboot.   A extra bit of faffing and rebooting, but is the only way, as the EDIT button doesn't work and would have otherwise saved you an extra reboot. Tut!
