We might forget one important thing: static and dynamic IP ranges! The routers usually serve 192.168.1.0/24 (or equivalent 24 bit mask) subnets. But the 256 IP is divided between static IPs and dynamic IPs. Most commonly the DHCP server is configured to serve starting from the IP 100 and cover either 100 or 50 devices so 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.149 or 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199 IP ranges. I have a faint suspicion that in your case the DHCP server might be configured for 50 devices and you may hit that limit?
