I’ve seen mixed results with fixed leases that I’m trying to figure out. Sometimes it seems like they “stick”, but other times they clearly do not. I’m on core 169 and this is what my DHCP page looks like right now. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,  
Craig

My guess is the old lease has not expired and possibly keep renewing it self.  
Assuming you rebooted your devices to get new fixed lease?  
You can try this to clear the lease table.  
Perhaps not the best solution.

Basically disable DHCP  
Save  
Re enable DHCP  
Save

Thanks. This device has been rebooted multiple times at this point. I can give the DHCP enable/disable cycle a chance to see if that helps.
