Advanced -> setup ->Lan Setup -> Add to Address Reservation 

Its easy to miss if you have no vaules in it already

 

- most home riad devices are 100% fine with just static ips -- I have 1 fixed and 1 set to dhcp on another switch, the only time I notice it working is if more then 1 person is connected to it. It's kind of pointless unless you have duel lan to your desktop or a few people who might hit the server at the same time - even then you basically need the qnap to be filled with ssd's because spin drives are slow -- why some come with ssd cache ..
