Using Address Reservation - NETGEAR RangeMax WPN824 Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP
Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router's LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.253, although you may wish to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP Address from the range you have defined
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway IP Address (the router's LAN IP address)
• Primary DNS Server (if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu);
otherwise, the router's LAN IP address)
• Secondary DNS Server (if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu)

Using Address Reservation

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 accesses 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 192.168.1.x).
3. Type the MAC Address of the computer or server.
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 (see
of Attached Devices" on page
Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.
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.
