Static IP on Zyxel EMG3525_T50B

Hi
I got the above from Wondernet and it conencts to my fibre Customer unit.

I use it to dish DHCP addresses and then because it's wireless is so bad, have it connected into the Deco routers.

My problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to assign static IP addresses using this thing. I have followed the manual instructiosn but each time it pops up with the below message. I have a ton of devices on the network and I'm getting IP conflicts which is messing with my life...


I diconnect and reconnect the device and it still doesn't appear in the static DHCP table. I've never had this issue with other routers. Any Zyxkel whisperers here?

Do you want to assign static IPs on your devices that connect to the router?

Yeah, I want certain devices to have fixed IP addresses because they are homeassistant/Tasmota devices and the system gets messed up if their addresses change.

Can you not just assign them to the devices manually?

I've done that, and have not had issues with the router's DHCP dishing out the same IP.

Thanks for the reply - I can't seem to do it from inside the router mx page... What I have done and am having luck with now is limiting the IP range for DHCP from the router and setting up each device with it's own discrete IP outside the range. So far so good. Thanks
