Reserve the Print Server’s IP Address on Your Router

The DHCP server on your router assigns new IP addresses to its client devices periodically. The

print server’s IP address should be reserved so that it will never change. Otherwise, if another

client requests a new IP address before the print server connects to the router, the print server’s IP

address will be assigned to the other client, resulting in an IP address conflict.

To reserve the print server’s IP address in your router, you will need some or all of the following

information about the print server:

• IP address

• MAC address

• Device name

The device name and MAC address is printed on the label on the underside of the device. The

above information can also be obtained by running the SmartWizard program or Web GUI.

If you have a NETGEAR router, use the following instructions to reserve the IP address for the

print server in your router. Otherwise, refer to your router manual.

To permanently reserve the print server’ IP address in a NETGEAR router:

1. Open your web browser and enter the URL http://www.routerlogin.net in the address bar or

enter the router’s IP address. This address is printed on the label on the bottom or the back of

the router and is typically either http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1.

2. In the Advanced section of the main menu, click LAN IP Setup.

The Address Reservation table will be displayed at the bottom of the LAN IP Setup window.

3. Click Add to open the Address Reservation window.

4. Enter the IP address, MAC address, and device name in the appropriate text boxes and click

Add.
