you meant this ?
1. Assign the ip address so that its fixed for various computers within the router unit.
2. Turn everything off, inc. your computer, router & other connected computer/AV equipments. (I got them fixed for unifi IPTV unit, CCTV, computers, laptops, Bluray player, even the LCD Tv that has network connections)
3. Wait for 10 mins? I waited overnight.
4. Then I turned on everything again. That way all the connected unit will be assigned known Ip address.
1. Do i need to assign all custom ip address on my every devices ?
2. wait 10 mins for what ? i dunno haha...
3. as number 1 ?
lol. I know it sounds like an idiot. But at that time, I don't know what else I can do.
I did assign all my devices with fix ip, so that I can set up port forwarding effectively. With this router, it can also assign the bandwidth to individual device, so fixing the ip helps to keep the set up constant.
Waiting for 10 mins is just a suggestion. The point is for the device to start up from scratch and apply the ip fixing to take effect. I was at wits end at that time, in fact, I kept them off overnight. When I turn all the system back again, the ip for individual device finally fixed properly, so port forwarding can be applied successfully. I don't understand how come it cannot be easily done either.
Once the above done properly, it works like a gem. I left the device on all the time in fact.
