I'd brought this router with unifi sticker on the box, so setup was quite easy. The only problem is that when ever i bound a specific MAC to IP address, I cant connect to internet, wired or wireless except the single pc that I used to setup the router. The goal is to set a fix IP on a certain pc so that I can map drive from others.

I don't really understand the purpose of bind function, but I couldn't find any other way to set fix IP in TL-WR1043ND.

Cannot add new Address Reservation

Error code: 26106
The IP address is not in the same subnet with LAN IP address.

255.255.255.0

LAN IP.
The pc is in the DHCP clients list and working

edit
lan 192.168.1.1
pc 192.168.1.100

edit 2
under network > lan note:If the new LAN IP address you set is not in the same subnet with the previous one, the IP Address pool in the DHCP server will be configured automatically,

What is 'previous one', does it refer to DIR 615 setup

But this is fresh setup and I don't change anything other than 'physically' change the router. Currently all my pcs are connected to LAN and given dynamic automatic IP which is 192.168.1.XXX. Why I cant use the same IP no as fix manually assign IP

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 can 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.
