</div>Just wanting to see which leases the router has provided to my various<br>
computers and printers. The attached devices list doesn't give all the<br>
outstanding leases and, for some reason, doesn't show the address<br>
assigned to the Mac, just shows its MAC and dashes in the IP addr box.<br>
<br>
It's probably worth my while to reset the router to fac default and<br>
reconfig it to see if that helps.<br>
<br>
Is there any reason that having some devices with fixed IP addresses<br>
should cause problems for a lower end router like this? There's no<br>
overlap with the assigned DHCP range.<br>
