I recently bought a new router, a Netgear WNDR3700 and I noticed a silly bug. When you make a DHCP reservation in the webinterface it will present a list of existing clients which makes it easy to add them to the reservation list.
This seems to work fine at first but when I checked my IP with IPConfig I noticed that I received a different address. I checked the router’s log and saw this:
[DHCP IP: 192.168.2.29] to MAC address 00:21:5c:9a:a0:99, Thursday, September 23,2010 14:03:59
I noticed that the MAC address was lowercase here and not uppercase as in the webinterface. I changed the case in the webinterface and then it worked fine!
I still think it’s a good router though, especially the WAN speed througputs are very good:

Had exactly the same issue. The latest firmware solves (1.0.4.68) solves the issue.
Strange, I am running 1.0.4.68 but the problem still exists
Same for me, same issue with new firmware. Thanks for the tip.
