R6220 LAN setup
Does the R6220 support ip reservation?
If so, when you reserve a particular ip address for a particular device shouldn't that device show that ip adress in it's configuration?
for example: I reserve ip 192.168.1.5 for device xxx. but an ifconfig on the device shows it's original ip address of 192.168.1.4 hardwired and 192.168.1.8 wifi connected.
try rebooting the pc and router at the same time. The router isn't immediately going to switch the device over when you reserve the IP address.
