Section 3 - Configuration

If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation. The router will assign the IP

address only to that computer or device.

Note: This IP address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range.

Revoke:

Click Revoke to cancel the lease for a specific LAN device and free an entry in the lease table. Do this only if the device no longer

needs the leased IP address, because, for example, it has been removed from the network.

Note: The Revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use MAC Address Filter

to do that. Revoke will only free up a DHCP Address for the very next requester. If the previous owner is still available, those two devices may

both receive an IP Address Conflict error, or the second device may still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still need to extend

the "DHCP IP Address Range" to address the issue which is located in the DHCP Server section.

Reserve:

The Reserve option converts this dynamic IP allocation into a DHCP Reservation and adds the corresponding entry to the DHCP

Reservations List.
