Archer BE800 Router Setup Question
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
My question pertains to something on the Advanced / DHCP Server screen for the BE800 router. Under the Address Reservation section of that screen you can assign a fixed IP address for any of the devices on your LAN.
One of the options for each device/IP is an on/off switch called “Status.” I’ve looked through the user guide for the BE800 and I haven’t found anything about what that switch does. Any clues appreciated.
Thanks.

This should be the status of the address reservation you've made - that means either this address reservation is active or not (like an on/off switch).

For the benefit of anyone else who may be following this thread, this is what the Status switch does:
When the switch is ON, the connected device will be forced to use the assigned IP address.
When the switch is OFF, the connected device can use any available LAN IP address.
Thanks TP-Link tech support.
