While logg-in to to router I selected Advanced->LAN Setup, and named the desired Device and selected IP address I want to use.
Why is that?
Why can I not a sign an Static IP to a Device. Perhaps there is a good reason for it, but I need an IP for my NAS.
Could you please clarify which device you want to have a static IP?
If you are logged into the administrative web interface on the RBR850 router and want the router itself to have a static IP address, that is done on the Orbi web interface Home Page, Internet Menu where you select "Use Static IP address" rather than "Get Dynamically from ISP". A person might do this, for example, when he has purchased a static IP from the ISP.
Sorry if I misunderstood the problem.
