Setting up a static IP with Nighthawk R7960P

[mocajoe]

Hello!

I'm using a Nighthawk R7960P cable router and wish to set up a static IP for one of my laptops. I've searched all over the documentation for this router, looked at web searches, and looked over ever Administrative privilege and option in the router to no avail.

I'm using firmware version V1.4.3.88_1.3.50. I'm all patched up and current.

If anyone can send me directions or to the correct area of the Administrative privies, I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks a ton!

Static IP is set on the device itself. What you're most likely looking for is a DHCP Reserved IP. You can find that in Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
