Assigning a static IP address to home devices

hi folks, this is my first post.
i havent received my XR500 just as yet (as i live in the UK - but is due 1st March via Amazon pre-order).
I have watched a few youtube videos yet Im still not sure exactly where in the OS i enter static IP addresses for quite a few home devices I need to add. From what i seen, the router picks up devices automatically and assigns them Ip addresses via DHCP ? thats not what I want it to do for certain devices.
Can someone please advise where I do this .
i want to assign Static IP's presumably with their MAC addresses ?
I'm formally an R7000 user running DD-WRT firmware, so this is a huge leap to a different OS.
many thanks.

Hi xlr8r, great to hear you're getting the XR500. You can set this in Settings > LAN Setup, then click Add under Address reservation. Then you can select the devices you want and give them a static IP. I've included a screenshot >

Re: Assigning a static IP address to home devices
aha! perfect thanks.
so, effectively I would need to keep all my home devices DISCONNECTED first, assign the static IP's and then turn everything on to get assigned correctly ?
thanks

Re: Assigning a static IP address to home devices
excellent!
moving from the R7000 dd-wrt, i currently have my static ip ranges setup "outside" the DHCP range, On the XR500 is there any benefit to doing things that way ? or should I just let the router do its thing if i set the dhcp range to the full 254 available ?
