How to configure Address Reservation on TP-Link wired router

When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC in the LAN, the PC will always receive the same IP address each time when it connects the DHCP server. If there are some PCs in the LAN require permanent IP addresses, please configure Address Reservation on the router for the purpose.

Step 1 Open the web browser and type the IP address of the router (default is 192.168.1.1) into the address bar, then press Enter.

Step 2 Type the username and password in the login page, the default username and password are both admin in lower case.

Step 3 Click DHCP->Address Reservation on the left side and click Add New button.

MAC Address: The MAC address of the PC which you want to reserve IP address

Reserved IP Address: The IP address of the PC which will be reserved by the router

Status: The status of this entry is either Enabled or Disabled
