Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0

Currently in the Deco app > Advanced > Address reservation > Create you can only select an existing device to create an address reservation.

 

Up to a point, this works well - but in my case I have a desktop PC that's connected (via EtherNet) to a TP-Link RE450 Wireless Extender (that's extending the Deco network into my office) and the deco app is getting the Mac address of the RE450 and not my PC.

 

Hopefully I can work around this by briefly moving my PC so that I can connect it directly to a Deco, putting the IP reservation in place, then moving it back to the RE450 - but it would be a whole lot easier if there was an option to manually input the Mac address when creating a new address reservation, just like you can do with the web interface for other TP Link devices such as the Archer VR600.

@moloko 

I got DecoM9 Plus (3 pack) and it's a great set.

 

I have 3cx system  ( only configurable as Static IP) and there should be a way (aka feature) to enter the IP address manually

I could install Asus router and move Deco to AP mode and shall lose some good features. Any suggestion ?

 

Thanks
