RT86U w 384.19 Manually Assigned IP issues

[PcGuy]

Trying to assign manually assigned IPs and entering a hostname in the table. However when I apply the changes none of the hostnames stick. The hostnames are all blank. Is this a known issue?

did you hit "penn" button and then apply button?

Check to make sure the /jffs is mounted. Tools/Internal Storage/JFFS
If it is not mounted go to the Administration/System and check Format JFFS partition at next boot. Save the page and then reboot.

Yes I did. It is saving the MACID and IP addresses its only the HOSTNAME field that is always empty

I don't know what was happening here. I did a Reboot of the router via the menu option and all of the entered information was lost. This was even though I had used the Apply button and the MACID and ID addresses showed up. Anyways entering the information using the pen icon and + sign followed by the apply button seemed to work. The hostname shows up and the information stays there even after a reboot of the router.
