How to tell Orbi not to give specific 192.168.1.x IP addresses to DHCP client devices?
I have a few cable network devices that are static. It's quite annoying to disconnect them so they can keep these static IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.5 & 192.168.1.7). I'm using an updated Netgear Orbi RBK753S-100NAS (WiFi 6; AX4200). This conflict usually happens after rebooting the router. 😞
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂
Change the default DHCP IP address pool size. Try 192.168.1.100 to .200:
Then set any static IP addresses ON the devices you want to have specific IP address out side of this new IP address pool range. Either side of the pool is for static IP addressed devices. Not to be confused with IP address reservations that are set ON the router and with in the IP address pool range.

Ooh, nice and thank you for the quick answer! I told "Use Router as DHCP Server" to use from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.254 so I don't have to manually mess around with the static IP address between 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.9. http://192.168.1.1/start.htm sure took a long time to update the settings though.
I did a remote router reboot to test it out, weird that my Linux/Debian PC's static IP address was at .10 instead of .7 and I could ping and connect to it with both IP addresses via SSH2. Eventually, the router's web page showed .7 instead of both, but I still could connect to both .7 and .10. I don't get it.
