TP-W9980 managing fixed IP addresses
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Today my new TP-W9980 N600 arrived - I managed to get it set up quickly but have run into an issue with how I had my network setup previously.
On my old router, I was able to set up computers and devices with their own fixed/manual IP - I have 20+ devices around the house that now cannot connect to the network any more.
I figured out that I can resolve this by reserving IP addresses.. but this requires the MAC address for all those devices - which tbh is a massive pain. And I wondered if there was a straightforward way in which I can set the router to just allow any incoming fixed ip addresses?
Or do I have to go this reserve route?
Any help greatly appreciated!
