DHCP issues with Merlin and Yaz

Strange issue where devices that have DHCP reservations suddenly started getting IP addresses in a different subnet. Main subnet is 192.168.1.x. DHCP pool to assign addresses 192.168.1.121 to 192.168.1.170. Most addresses above and below are assigned to devices. House is large with many Asus routers, but once central GT-AX6000 that does the DHCP for the whole network. I recently updated the firmware on the GT-AX6000 to 3006.102.6 and I believe that is when the issue developed. Devices that connect to the other routers in the house still function properly, but devices that connect directly to the GT-AX6000 are getting addresses 192.168.52.x despite the fact that their MAC addresses are reserved in the 192.168.1.x rhelm. Not all devices are getting the 192.168.52.x assignment, but it seems to be 5 +/- devices affected. I am not sure why this is happening nor what to do about it. Any ideas?
 
Two questions:

Where are you seeing this reported? Network map is notoriously flaky.

Secondly, have you checked whether the devices getting the incorrect IP are using (configured for, without remembering an old SSID) the SSID you want them to join?

Bonus question; Yaz … what? YazDHCP? (I use it, it’s great for Main and GNP).
