AX series IP reservations

Thanks - had already tried that but may try again.

trouble is it turns up lots of forum crap from wishful thinkers, "I would image it's unlimited" etc.. ..really?

At least Linksys answered directly, and although you can theoretically have 253, their firmware on all their models limits it to 50.

- Which should be enough.

However, their routers all require the IP reservations to be within the DHCP range - which is not what I want.

My current router limits IP reservations to c30, but anywhere in the 253 IP range, regardless of the DHCP range.

So, one manufacturer decides:

DHCP range applies to anything, reserved or not.

whilst another decides :

DCHP reservation range is for sundry IP requests, but reserved IP's can have anything in the 253 range.

This is good for structuring device types into groups, for easy recognition when troubleshooting, aided further by the ability to name as suits you.

These three simple things make it easy to manage a busy home network or small business without resorting to the unnecessary overhead of network management tools with groups/sites etc overheads....
