Manage Reserved Lan Ip Addresses; Reserve An Ip Address - NETGEAR R8300 User Manual

Manage Reserved LAN IP Addresses

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 router's DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers
that require permanent IP settings.

Reserve an IP Address

To reserve an IP address:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup page displays.
5. In the Address Reservation section, click the Add button.
The page adjusts.
6. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
Choose an IP address from the router's LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x.
7. 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 page and paste it here.
8. Click the Apply button.
The reserved address is entered into the table.
The reserved address is not 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.
