Reserved IP addresses

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer will always
receive the same IP address each time it access the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses
should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.

To reserve an IP address:

1. Click the Add button.

2. In the IP Address box, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.

Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.

3. Type the MAC Address of the computer or server.

4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.

Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC

address from the Attached Devices menu and paste it here.

Note: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer

contacts the router's DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP
configuration and force a DHCP release and renew.
