<div>+1 to this. A while back, the newer
versions of the venerable WRT54G series of routers started
shipping with much weaker hardware and a VxWorks operating system
instead of the classic Linux firmware. Not coincidentally, they
also started to suck at the same time! I recommend Tomato firmware
if your device can take 3rd party builds. I ran it on my current
router for years, only replacing it because my box doesn't have
enough memory to run a 2.6 kernel. <br>
<br>
As I understand it, a DHCP reservation for a particular device can
be added within the scope of the dynamically assigned ones. I
think that's even the official way, although all but the stupidest
firmware could hand one out from outside the range also. <br><div><div class="h5">

<div>I can't imagine any reason having some fixed-IP
devices would be a problem. Technically even if they were in
the DHCP range it should be ok, as the DHCP service SHOULD do
a ping to make sure an address isn't claimed before assigning
it. (keyword "should" - so probably better to keep them
non-overlapping)</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>
