RT-N66R will not allow static IPs, Port Forwarding

[steveb]

Please excuse this if it a duplicate. I searched the forum and couldn't find an exact match.

I have an RT-N66R router and I need to set up some static IPs and port forwarding. I have enabled both on the router. I have three systems that need static IPs. I can enter a static IP for one of them, but the router steadfastly refuses to let me add more. I enter the information and click the plus sign, and the information looks like it has been entered. However, when I come back to the DHCP page, the newly added system is not there. The same thing happens on the port forwarding page, but it will not even allow me to add one port. I enter the information, click the plus sign, and the information shows up in the table, but I go away and then come back to the page, and the port information is gone.

Help?

Thank you in advance.

Make sure you also enable the feature on that same page - there's a radio select button to enable/disable port forwards or DHCP reservations.

Yes. I have enabled manual assignment and port forwarding.

You say you're clicking the + sign but you don't say you hitting the apply tab at the bottom, just checking.

Yes, I tried it several times. Apply seems to restart the router, which seems excessive for just adding a static IP or a port forward.

if you don't it apply after loading up the static ip then it will not stay after you leave the page or reboot . Enter the ip hit + sign for all static ip then hit apply , should work , don't forget to enable as well
