Manually Assigned IP list size

[greenemk]

I am running 384.19 on a RT-AC88U (AC3100). The Manually Assigned IP option says Max Limit : 128 entries. However, as I entered my light bulbs and systems, I got to about 70+ entries and I could not apply. I received the warning to reduce the list length or shorten device names. My question is what is included in a Manually Assigned IP entry? I assume MAC Address, IP Address, DNS Server, and Hostname only?

this is being reduced to 64 in 386.X - its bound by an nvram limitation. rumour has it there's a script in the works to hopefully work around this limit and increase it again

Hey! You started that rumour!

@greenemk Do you need to have that many reservations? It seems like a painful way to configure your network. (just asking as reducing the need seems to be the easiest solution)

I try to keep all my devices with static IPs so a quick glance I can tell if something doesn't belong. In the last year I have add so many TP-Link devices, the number has just skyrocketed!

I see. In that case, you may need to consider using a different source for DHCP that allows you to use a higher number of reservations...
