Hey guys, I have a Linksys EA6700 running DD-WRT v3.0-r40559 std (08/06/19) and I'm running into an issue that I have not been able to confirm if it is a expected behavior, whenever I set static leases the IP is assigned, but if I select to reset the router *or I have to disconnect it for any reason) the fields go blank and eventually the router forgets about the assignment, which is a real pain to manage port forwards.

Is there any solution for this?

https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Static_DHCP <-- you have to save/apply after each lease is added. IF it's still not working right, then there's a larger problem. Not sure how updated that wiki is, but I don't think you need to check either 'use nvram...' or 'use jffs...' on that page.

Are you on a an alternate CFE?
If not check your nvram usage if it is near 32Kb it could be the 32Kb nvram bug

The EA6900 which I have, has the same problem if I am not mistaken

Furthermore some browser do not play nice with the DDWRT GUI especially Chrome, I use good old Internet Explorer, or clear your browser cache also can help

Thanks for the replies, I checked the NVRAM and it was up to 34kb, but I found and script that lowered it down to 25kb, I'll try to add the lines one by one using IE on my other PC (main one has linux) and see if it works now

Firefox ESR on Linux (Debian) usually behaves well for me. Firefox ESR 52.9.0 on MacOSX seems to be much more friendly than Quantum. I generally don't use Windows for accessing the WebUI, but I have used NT4 / IE6SP1 out of pure curiosity...
