Linksys E-Series How to set up DHCP reservation Why would I use it? DHCP reservation allows you to assign a unique, fixed IP address to a specific device on your network. Assigning a fixed IP address is a good way to manage devices such as print servers, web cameras, network printers, and game consoles. A fixed IP address is also recommended if you want to use port forwarding for devices that need to receive inbound traffic from the Internet ("How to set up port forwarding" on page 57). To configure DHCP reservation: Setup > Basic Setup > DHCP Reservation 1. Log into the browser-based utility (see "How to open the browser-based utility" on page 25). 2. Click the Setup tab, then click the Basic Setup page. 3. Click DHCP Reservation (in the middle of the screen). 4. Click Select next to the client you want to create a DHCP reservation for. 5. Click Add Clients. The client you selected is added to the Clients Already Reserved table. You can also manually enter a client name, IP address, and MAC address of a device to create a DHCP reservation. 6. Click Save Settings. Setting Up: Advanced How to find your network on the Internet For ALL Why would I need to find my network on the Internet? If you want to remotely access a USB drive attached to your router or view a web camera, you need to find your network on the Internet. Working with several DDNS service providers, your router's DDNS feature lets you configure a domain name for your network, which you can then use to easily find your network on the Internet. If your ISP changes your network's IP address, the DDNS service providers detect the address change and continue to route your domain name to that address. Tip Before you configure DDNS on your router, you must sign up for DDNS service from a DDNS service provider that's supported by your router. To set up DDNS: Setup > DDNS 1. Sign up for DDNS service at either www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com. 2. Log into the browser-based utility (see "How to open the browser-based utility" on page 25). 3.
