Hi @Ryba 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

1. It has nothing to do with the Omada devices. So, you should contact the ISP about this since your diagram shows that your ISP controls the DHCP-related stuff.

Or, configure on the clients manually with the IP addresses.

Omada in this situation has nothing to do with any of the DHCP or static IP. because the switch is unmanaged switch. Plug and play. The EAP is a layer 2 device as well. Nothing to do with the IP you talked about.

2. No. You don't have an Omada router. Functions in the controller that relate to the router do not work.

3. Correct.

But the Static IP is gonna be manually assigned. Or you use DHCP instead. There is no way to give static IPs to dynamic clients.

  @Clive_A Thank you for your reply! I am not a very technical person and prefer to ask a few more questions just to be sure.

 

1. By static IP I meant internal IP reservation based on MAC address only. I used temporarily an old Netgear router for this installation and it was very easy to make one client have a static IP - I set it up on the router. Now I switched the hardware setup to the one described in the post and I am wondering which device is responsible for assigning internal IP addresses.

2. Ok, I understand now.

3. This 'client 5' is a laptop connected by the wire and acting as a Home Assitant local server. I would like to have the same setup as before - have an internal IP reservation for this laptop. Will router ER605 make it possible to have an internal IP reservation based on client's MAC address?

Any routers, regardless of their type, business, or home, support this basic feature of setting a DHCP reservation. Or you can set a static IP address to enable it.
