How to change an existing IP address reservation on R7800?
I've installed a Nighthawk R7800 to replace an old Asus router. I had alot of IP address reservations on the previous router which I'd like to preserve. The problem is that, when I booted the Netgear...

Is it actually possible to define a new address reservation when a device has already been assigned a new, dynamic IP address?
It doesn't deal with the issue in hand, but where possible I find it easier to fix the UP address on the device itself.
I do this on things like access points, NAS storage, camera hubs and the like.
Not only does this achieve what I want, it means that I can replace the router and not have to worry about reserving IP addresses.
Ah, so the IP address is set on the device side rather than router side. Good info. Thanks!

That certainly works here for some devices.
On an NAS for example, I can tell it to use a Static IP Address. Something like 192.168.1.19.
Not all network stuff has the Static option.
