ok.. I rephrase from the beginning
My goal: to set fix IP address for my kids pc
My reason: to set rules (parental monitoring) on this IP and to map my kid's HDD on my pc
My problem: My kids IP keep changing
My solution: reserved the same IP (currently on dynamic mod) to my kids MAC address pc. Otherwise the monitored IP might change to my wife's pc and defeat the idea of monitoring my kid's pc activities
TL-WR1043ND problem:
My step: follow the unifi setup provided by the manual. All pcs are connected to LAN and have access to internet
My question: Upon checking the note under Network LAN help note no.2
This note imply that i have change LAN IP thus the error code 26106 happen. If I make a fresh setup without altering any IP, how canÂ
not in the same subnet and
previous one become a problem. What is previous setting that trigger the 'not in the same subnet' error. Are TL-WR1043ND still carry setting from DIR-616 made by TM.
ok... first thing first... tplink and TM DIR-615 are two different thing. They totally have no relation and all. Hence TPLINK won't know what setting u have in DLINK. I will explain it more in detail later as I am quite busy with some of my workload at the moment..

ok lets start to solve your problem here...
Firstly you wanna give a fixed IP to your son PC. You can do it by assigning a fix IP to the MAC address from 1043, or just set it on the PC itself. For me I will used the address reservation from 1043, and all my devices will be set to run on DHCP. This can ease my management job. Since you have successfully assigned the IP through Address Reservation, then just continue on the next step.
Next, try to manage and limit how you wan ur 1043 runs as a DHCP server. Exclude all the reserved IP from the DHCP list to avoid IP conflict.
eg: U wanna fix 5 devices IP 192.168.1.11-15, then your DHCP should start from 192.168.1.16 or above.
Hope the above solution clear your doubt...
Now comes to ur 2nd question:
I dont understand the meaning of "follow the unifi setup provided by the manual", sorry to say that I don't even know it has a manual. What I did is very straight forward, and I don't use the "quick setup" but instead i set it up manually using "Network>Wan and select unifi"
and for the "Network -> LAN" help, like i mention before, it's just a precaution to let you know, if you change the LAN IP to others IP subnet, 1043 itself will automatically help u change the range of the dhcp range as well..
possible if you provide some screenshot so that I can have a clear picture on what really happen to ur configuration
