Static IP address help orbi rbk50

Hi new to the group and I have been searching for the answer with no luck.  I have a brand new orbi system operationg in router mode.  I am looking to create a static IP addresss for a LAN client that need a consistant address to work. In 2 days the router has already reassigned the clients IP address making it not work.  I already have the port forwarding working but I cant figure out how to do a static client ip address on this router.  Thanks in advance.

    the other option is to set static ip addresses on the client devices themselves , this would be fine for devices that stay in the home environment
