[Ham-Computers] 8-Port Router-Switch Recommendation Needed

[Robert Downs]

Dale,

You are at least the second person to tell me that but neither have told me
HOW!  I've been into the current router as ADMIN and looked at all of the
available settings without finding that one.  Plus this isn't the only
reason that I need to try a new router.

*****************
Robert most routers can assign static IP addresses via MAC address.
Can you not do it that way?
