Nighthawk M1 IP addresses - allow both dynamic and static

My pleasure,

Just some details to keep in mind for you and others who try this.  When you set the static IP on your printer or other device, be sure to set the Subnet Mast to 255.255.255.0 (in a home networking environment) and set the gateway to the IP address of your router.  In this case the MR1100 which would likely be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 unless you've changed it.

For routers which support static and dynamic leasing, the way I've typically seen this accomplished in the router interface is that one can manually assign IP addresses to specific MAC addresses.  In this way the "static IP client" still uses DHCP to lease an IP from the router, but the router looks in the static MAC to IP lookup table and re-assigns the same IP everytime to this MAC address.  Recall for those who may not know that each and every network interface manufactured has a unique hardware address called the MAC address.  These take the form of (for example) 00:00:00:a1:2b:cc
