Just a little eccentric I guest. Setting each device individually kinda side step the DHCP. It would work for most of my devices. I know about the random MAC on Cell. I set them to use phone MACs. Any ideas on the pains that won't allow me changing IP's, Security CAM. And That wifi reaper/extender? (side note- I rebuild it. Works ten time better and cooler, bigger heatsink & fan, very poor design.)

I find it hard to understand that message. Take this bit:

How can you "set them to use phone MACs" if the MACs keep changing.
Or do you mean you disable the randomising?
Then there is this bit:

Can you explain that in ways that are easier to understand?

All my devices use a reserved DHCP as I like a "fixed" IP for all my devices (easy to find/lookup them). So don't trust Attached devices this much and hopefully a new FW version will improve things, but with NG's/Delta Networks incompetent developers, my hope isn't high.
