Orbi RBR850 IP Address reservations and DHCP address range

I use a "banded" approach for IP reservations for my Orbi, NAS and about 100 other devices....

Different types of devices reside on different IP address Bands.... as an example:

Router:  192.168.1.1

Satellites:   Assigned IPs at .2, .3, .4

Statically assign TV's at .20, .21, etc

Statically assign Computers at .30, 31, 32, etc

Statically assign SONOS at .50, 51, etc

Statically assign printers and other special devices (NAS, surveillance cameras, etc) at .80, .81 etc

Begin DHCP reservations at say .100

This way you know anything assigned DHCP has not been categorized yet and is a "new" join to network.

Note that just because you start DHCP at .100 you can reserve IPs outside of that range.

Seems like a pain to go through all of this, but I assure you a well thought out IP distribution will pay huge dividends later.

Of course after doing this, you will want to backup your Orbi config.
