so i am trying to set up my internet so computer A) xbox A) has the best internet and i want to set the other stuff back (and have each ip permanently static). i copied the ip for each items and set them a priority number so they would run best to worse in the order i want. i noticed a little difference but then my wifi crashed and i reset my modem which changed all my ip's. so the one i wanted to run the best now had the ip of the one i wanted to run the worse. this shouldn't of changed especially my xbox it was supposed to be set to a static ip. how can i set it up so all ip's are static even if the modem is turned off and on. also why do some things show up in ARP and not DHCP? i also wouldnt mind some advise on prioritising my wifi. thank you in advanced

Answer 1

It would help to know the make & model of your router so that we can see what functions it has available to it. So, update your post with that info when you get a chance.



Next, if your internal IPs start with 192.168, 172.16 thru 172.31, or 10.0 -- then you don't need to mask out your IPs in your pics. WE ALL USE THOSE RANGES which means they're not secret. If you don't believe me then you shouldn't trust the rest of this answer, either.



So, there are a few ways to do what I think you're trying to do. The problem is that you haven't absorbed enough network info, yet.



Method #1:

If your router has a function called "DHCP Reservation" then you'll want to use that feature first, to "reserve" a specific IP for a specific MAC address/device. When you've finished reserving IPs, your router should also list which device is linked to which IP address. Now you're ready to use that "Bandwidth Control List" to map out your IPs. Be sure you're SAVING or APPLYING your changes while using each function. That way your changes survive a power off and on cycle.



Hey, you were right. I didn't look down far enough in your last pic. There's a section called "Static IP Lease List" -- use that to connect the IP that your devices get to their specific MAC addresses.



- So, turn on the devices you're interested in "mapping". They'll each get an IP address assigned to them by the router's DHCP server function.



- Next, there should be a way to list the devices that are connected to your router with the IP and MAC address listed. Write this info down for the devices you plan to use in the next step.



- Next, using the list you just wrote down, ADD an entry to the Static IP Lease List. When finished adding, be sure to do a SAVE. Then come back and ENABLE the entries you just added. (Enable "turns on" the new rule you're creating. If you ever want a particular device to get a different IP you would first Disable the device/rule in question.)



- The last step is to go back to your Broadband Control Rules section and delete or change the old info to what you need it to be.



Make sense?

Answer 3

most routers have a STATION list. thats the list of CONNECTED devices. when you DISPLAY the list it usually has various options, one is to assign a IP address to a device in the list and a tick box that says ALWAYS give that device(with that MAC ID, the same IP address eg 192.168.1.32) that way even if the software of the device is poor and disconnects when it reconnects its as if it had never disconnected. unfortunately each router has its own menu so i cant describe that to you, just download your router manual and it should be there. *** please Note your ROUTERS IP address is the IP used for internet gaming and is either STATIC or DYNAMIC(may be different each day) and your local IP addresses for each device are PRIVATE and have nothing to do with internet gaming as such. You can SAVE a router configuration to a file- in case it gets erased

Static IP's SHOULD be from OUTSIDE the DHCP pool of the router! If you use a router which sets IP's using 192.168.1.100-150 as the DHCP pool... all static IP's should be outside that range!!!! Like 192.168.1.20 - .50 etc. so that they ALWAYS stay the same and the router doesn't even attempt to assign them! It isn't rocket science to understand STATIC vs DHCP the two do not mix unless you know exactly what you are doing!

Limit the DHCP pool range of the router, assign IP's outside that range problem solved. You don't try to "Copy" the set already assigned!
