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.

Let the printer handle the IP address then it never changes and you know where it's at. Most printer don't need any router management anyways.

Thanks Furry, I did just that. So far it's staying put. Thank you for the assist. Set it up as a static ip in the router so the dhcp doesn't re assign it.
