Add/Edit DHCP Reservation
This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the router. The router will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use this option.
Computer Name: You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help you keep track of
which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server.
IP Address: The LAN address that you want to reserve.
MAC Address: To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the router's
