Static IP kicks me off the network

obcbobd

Having a strange problem with my router, model MI424WR-GEN3G Rev 30.18.5

Yesterday I assigned 3 static IP leases (1 ethernet, 2 wireless) using these steps

Advanced->IP Address Distribution->Connection List

Edit the relevant connections

Click Static Lease Type

Shortly after doing that I rebooted teh ehternet device (an appliance that only does DHCP) and it could not obtain an IP. I tried deleting the lease but that did not help.

This morning I reboot both of my wireless PCs and they won't pick up an address.

Rebooting the router the wireless devices get an IP but lose it after a few minutes.

Reseting the router to factory defaults doesn't help

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Coild you post up the Static IPs that you're using, or at least one of them from the batch of affected devices? It's possible that you might be coming across an IP Address Conflict, caused by DHCP requests made by another device (Set Top Boxes, for example have a reserved range).
