IP-MAC binding

Overview

Through the DHCP reservation function, specified clients can always obtain the same IP address
when connecting to the router, ensuring that the router's "Port Forwarding", "DDNS", "DMZ host"
and other functions can function normally. This function takes effect only when the DHCP server
function of the router is enabled.
To access the configuration page, log in to the web UI of the router, and choose Advanced > IP-
