Go into your camera setup and choose an IP address for each camera with in your DHCP server's range.
Then you can go to tje WEB portal orbilogin.com > Advanced tab > Setup > LAN Setup > Address Reservation and add those IP addresses for the cameras or any other devices you want to have static IP. You will need the MAC address and IP address for each camera in order to complete this.
Hi there, thank you for the reply. The IP on the camera settings are already configured as static, which feed to a NVR. That NVR has been port forwarded.

Exactly. Only the Orbi router has an option to define a "Static IP" on the router itself.
Orbi satellites always request an IP using DHCP, so entering their MAC addresses into the LAN Setup table will guarantee that the router always gives them the same IP address.
