RBS850 assigning new IP addresses to existing devices that were assigned a static IP address
I have the AX6000 RBS850 which i have had for a month. Its a nightmare. One of the issues is that i have a list of devices that need to have static IP's so i assigned them. I have had to reboo...
There is a difference, at least for standard networking protocols. IP address reservatiions are just that IP address reservations that set a IP address for a partcular device ON the router and held, assigned and given by the router to the assigned device when it comes online, it gets this same IP address always. It doesn't change. A user configures this ON the router. Not the device.
Static IP address assignements are not given, configured or held by a router or DHCP server. It's set ON the device that one wants to give an Static IP address too. So when device is turned on, the IP address is already used by the device and just go thru the router. This IP address doesn't change unless the user changes it ON the device it was assigned on. These Static IP addresses need to be out side the DHCP IP address pool. So if one wants a static IP address on a NG router, one needs to adjust the default DHCP IP address pool to make room for these static IP addressed devices as they should not reside with in the default IP address pool since NG defaults the pool from .2 to .254.
Well i could not get it to assign a specfic IP to my WIndows 10 machine and my Rasberry PI device. after rebooting my devices they took new IP's. Since some of the IP's werein Conflict with each other my router crashed. I have since put the router in Bridge mode and using my XFI as the DHCP server with a static IP. THE RBS850 is so unrealiable , reboots every day i am hopeing it will work better in bridge mode. Worst router i have

ever owned.
So If you have two routers on line then this will not work well. IF you out the RBR in AP mode, then if you set Dynamic IP addressing settings on the RBR for AP mode, then look at the DHCP servers connected clients page to see what IP address the RBR got from the server. Use this to access the RBRs web page. I prefer and use static IP for when mine is in AP mode so I always know how to get to it. I use 192.168.#.85.
