Nighthawk M1 IP addresses - allow both dynamic and static
The Nighthawk M1 network IP address setup currently allows either dynamic DHCP address assignment within a specified range or fully manual assignment of static IP addresses to wired or WiFi connected...
I'm still hoping that this feature will be implemented in the next firmware release. Surely it wouldn't require a great deal of programming. As explained above, my Ethernet-connected printer is currently issued a new IP address every day by my MR1100 (I turn off the access point at night, into which the printer is connected by Ethernet cable, but the printer remains on in sleep mode), so I first have to find out what that address is by either logging into my access point or the MR1100 and then I have to go into my PC's printer settings and configure the printer port with the new IP address. This is a real hassle every day, even if I only want to print a single sheet.
I'd be grateful if a Netgear Moderator would tell me if the implementation of this can be prioritised. JasonN perhaps you could help in this?
