Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the modem router’s DHCP server.

Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.

To reserve an IP address:

1.

In the Address Reservation section of the screen, click the Add button.

2.

In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an

IP address from the modem router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.)

3.

Type the MAC address of the computer or server.

Tip:

If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC
address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.

4.

Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.

The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the
modem router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration and
force a DHCP release and renew.

To edit or delete a reserved address entry, select the radio button next to the reserved
address you want to edit or delete. Then click Edit or Delete.

wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice,
