Thanks for the advice

As I am not familiar with "fixing" IP addresses, do you mean assign fixed IP addresses with the range 192.168.1.125 to 192.168.1.160?

    address reservations is an option in the router lan setup, it will assign same IP to a device, It's not static it's still DHCP with a twist you enter MAC address and IP is reserved for that MAC only

     

    try the extender first
