My general practice is to do the following:
- Set aside a range of IP addresses for devices that you want to always have the same IP address and then enter the MAC addresses of those devices into the LAN Setup table.
- Define another range of IP addresses for devices that are more transient: guests, gizmos you may try out and decide, "nah", Apple devices that keep changing their MAC address every time their software updates, etc.
Currently I have 192.168.1.70 set aside for my 'permanent' devices (desktops, printers, thermostat, security cameras, etc.) and 71-100 for "stuff". I have changed this several times over the years.
Is that the sort of information you are looking for?
