How to set up DHCP reservation

Why would I use it? DHCP reservation allows you to assign a unique, fixed IP
address to a specific device on your network Assigning a fixed IP address is
a good way to manage devices such as print servers, web cameras, network
printers, and game consoles A fixed IP address is also recommended if you
want to use port forwarding for devices that need to receive inbound traffic
from the Internet ("How to set up port forwarding" on page 43)
To configure DHCP reservation:
1. Log into Linksys Smart Wi-Fi (See "How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-
Fi" on page 7
2. Under Router Settings, click Connectivity
3. Click the Local Network tab, then click DHCP Reservations The DHCP
Reservations list opens, which lists attached network devices and current
DHCP reservations

click Add DHCP Reservation
