EXCLUDING FIXED IP ADDRESSES
If the PC does not support DHCP, you will need to manually configure the IP address on that PC and then make sure that the DHCP server never assigns that IP address. If you add the address in the DHCP server’s “exclude” table, we can make sure the router never assigns that IP address.
Follow the steps below to configure the router to exclude the IP address assigned to the PC:
1.At the PC, manually configure the IP address. Record the IP address.
2.Open a browser window and login to the router.
3.Click Basic Configuration, then DHCP Server, then Excluded IP Table. This displays the Excluded IP Table screen (see Figure 18).
