Netgear AX-12 router DHCP question.
So I have this Netgear nighthawk AX-12 RAC120v2 . And I have a DHCP question. So if I have two computers on and have mapped network drives. And say my computers ip address is 182.163.1.44 . And so ...
DHCP renewal is not on the router itself but on the device that requests the IP address. The router's DHCP just assigns addresses requested by clients. If a client requests a different IP for some reason, the DHCP will happily give it.
A way around is to reserve IP addresses based on MAC address for clients
