Go to LAN Settings and you can set an IP reservation for the DVR there.

Now when I specify the DVR address, it says devices will be disconnected while router gets a new IP address. Whats up with that? Or what does that mean?

Thank you, that is what I was figuring. I have grown tired of every time there is a glitch in service or the router is rebooted, I have to reconfigure the address in the ipad and iphone so I can access my cameras.
