If you would like some devices on your network to always have fixed IP
addresses, you can manually add a static DHCP assignment entry for
each such device. You can manually add an IP address and a MAC
address, and then whenever a host with this MAC address connects to the
router, it will always get the same IP address (the one you just added).
According to the connected computer's MAC address, the router checks
relevant entries in its DHCP reservation list and decides what IP address
to assign to this host (an unused IP from DHCP IP address pool, or a
reserved one): If it fails in finding a reserved IP address for this MAC
address in the list, it will immediately assign an unused IP from its DHCP
IP address pool; and if such IP is found, it will be assigned to this host so
as to ensure that host with a static DHCP assignment always get this
reserved IP address.
