static ip for printer
I have the nighthawk wifi 6 (ax) router and am looking for assistance in setting up a static IP for a printer. Am not sure where to put it in the router. Am thinking in Advanced Setup, static Routes....
Just so you know, Static IPs are set ON devices, not the router. IP address reservations are set ON the router.
RAX50 is the key for the model.
RAX50 — Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX5400 WiFi 6 Router In the Documentation Section https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rax50#docs you find the Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX5400 WiFi Router Models RAX50 and RAX50v2 User Manual, on p.50 there is a chapter on "Manage reserved LAN IP addresses".
I did what you suggested however, the info was already there and I didn't do anything except open the menu. Here's a screen grab:

Maybe it is working. Do you have a problem with the printer?
The IP address kept changing every few days!

The printer is either not configured for DHCP, or the MAC address is wrong. Check your printer resp. it's documentation.
Last possibility: The Netgear router DHCP is broken or buggy.
