I've just signed up to fibre broadband and pluged everything in, unfortunately I have to reinstall my printer everytime I turn the supplied router off. ( I have to turn the router of every now an then )

The router is Technicolor TG582n FTTC does anyone know how I can program it make the printer Local IP stay the same or can someone recommend a different router, this one seems pants anyway.

Thanks for your time :)
 
hmm just read this

he TG582n web interface is pretty restricted - you can't set up static DHCPs from it - you need to use the command line.
Telnet into the router (same name and password as the web interface) and then do the following:

dhcp server lease list (lists the current DHCP clients)
dhcp server lease delete clientid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ( xx etc. is the MAC address of appropriate client from above list - deletes the current lease)
dhcp server lease add clientid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx pool=LAN_private addr=192.168.1.x leasetime=0 (adds required IP for appropriate client with infinite lease time)
saveall

Then reboot PC or whatever to get the new lease.

Can't be doing with that !
Apparently the router is prone to failure anyway.
Can someone recommend a router which can fix the printer IP addresses.
