Setting up static DHCP leases on your TP-Link router helps you reserve IP addresses for specific devices. Here’s how to do it:
Log into Your Router:
Open a web browser and go to
192.168.0.1
.Enter your previously created password. If you haven't set one, you will be prompted to create one.
Navigate to LAN Settings:
Click on the “Advanced” tab.
Select “Network” from the menu on the right, then click on “LAN settings.”
Set Up Address Reservation:
Scroll down to the “Address Reservation” section and click on “+ Add.”
You can type the MAC address of the device manually or use the Scan button to detect it.
Enter the IP address you wish to reserve for this device.
Save Your Settings:
Click “OK” to save your settings.
Your device will now always be assigned the same IP address by the router.
