I have two MR42s that will not accept the IP address I want to give them. One stubbornly holds on to the first address I gave it, a.b.c.97; I have tried many times to change it to a.b.c.96, but the AP never remembers the change--it doesn't respond with an error message or anything, in fact when I click on the "edit" icon a table with all the right values comes up, so it's storing the information somewhere--but the address never changes. Another AP got an address from DHCP a month or two ago, a.b.c.129; I want to give it a static IP address (like all the other APs at the site), a.b.c.100, but I might as well be talking to a cat. I have rebooted and power-cycled both APs. What else can I do without going to the sites in question, getting on a ladder, and doing a manual factory reset? Why are these boxes sometimes so stubborn about IP addresses?
