HomeHub4 - ability to manually assign fixed IP addresses

HomeHub4 - ability to manually assign fixed IP addresses

Status: New Idea Submitted by on ‎04-08-2013 12h15

Hi,

 

The HomeHub4 can retain IP addresses for devices once connected but these IP addresses are only assigned in the order that the devices are registered. I have a number of PCs that run software that require each device that they talk to to have an assigned and fixed IP address. These were set up under a different router which allowed me to manually assigned fixed IP addresses. The HomeHub4's limitation in this respect means that I now have to individually remap each device on each PC rather than make the assignings in one place (within the router).

 

I would like to propose that the HomeHub firmware is updated to allow the administrator to manually reserve IP addresses for connected devices identified by their MAC address.
