Perhaps I don't have the right incantation but I'm unable to enter more than seven dhcp address assignments and keep them. I have a total of 17 that I need. I've entered all 17 of them and I can go through data entry box by box and do a little double click routine and each one fills in so it remembers what I've done, even through a power down! But those in excess of the first 7 are lost from the list of DHCP clients under the wireless system information tab! I fill in a few lines, click "save" then click "apply" and then go on and do some more up to the 16th line. They are not really applied it seems since they don' t appear in the dhcp client list? If I enter the 17th line and "save" they are immediately stripped out back to the first seven? I'm working from Firefox and did the "Tools > Start Private Browsing" thing if that matters but saw no change. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
