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.
