static ip for printer
I have the nighthawk wifi 6 (ax) router and am looking for assistance in setting up a static IP for a printer. Am not sure where to put it in the router. Am thinking in Advanced Setup, static Routes....

Just so you know, Static IPs are set ON devices, not the router. IP address reservations are set ON the router.

The IP address kept changing every few days!

The printer is either not configured for DHCP, or the MAC address is wrong. Check your printer resp. it's documentation.
Last possibility: The Netgear router DHCP is broken or buggy.
