how to reserve ip address for connected device?
My WN3500RP is extending a Netgear WNDR4300 router. The router can reserve ip addresses for connected devices. But I can't figure out how to reserve ip addresses for devices connected to the WN3500RP ...

That is a "working" but "lame" solution. The problem is a bug in the WR3500RP source. It's asking the router for the DHCP range, and then find's a free spot, totally disregarding the "reserved network addresses" from the router.
../sigh
Tested it here too, with a laptop reserved to fixed IP over cable. (wifi is same). Plugged into the wn3500rp it will get a NEW ip. Bug!
