RTP300 static local IP (i.e. 192.168.15.x)

How do I assign one of the devices that are attached to the RT300 router a static local IP?

I have a network printer that I access with the IP address that the RTP300 DHCP server assigns, usually 192.168.15.x. Unfortunately, I have to re-setup my printer on each computer in the network each time the router re-assigns a new IP to the printer. This happens quite often.

How can I have my printer retain its local IP address forever i.e. remain static?

Thanks, Marius

You should get a better answer to this in the VoIP forum where the networking guys hang out most. I'm not much on such things. However, I think you can just assign the static address that you want in the network setup for the printer. However, you need to choose an address outside the range assigned by DHCP in the RTP300. To do that, you may need to change that range in the RTP300 setup.

Hi,

The RTP300 generally assigns ports as follows:
DHCP Address Range: 192.168.15.100 to 192.168.15.149

So if you use something between 150 and 254 for the fourth octet ie: 192.168.15.150, you should be all set.
