Dhcp questions.
Finncapt mansions has a 4 port adsl modem/router.
To these 4 ports are connected 2 x 8 port switches and 2 wireless routers in access point mode (at opposite ends of the house).
Currently all DHCP requests are handled by the modem.
I now require static ip to an ip camera, a NVR server and 2 raspberry pis which are attached to the 8 port switches.
I can set up the modem to use static ip but I am unsure how to handle tablets etc. which connect to the wireless routers - particularly as my cat sitters brings their own tablets when they come to stay.
Should I enable router mode on each of the wireless routers but give each wireless router a static ip address on the modem?
Will the wireless routers then allocate DHCP for connected devices?
The second question.
The ip camera is showing in the modem DHCP table as 192.168.0.103 but I have given it the static address of 192.168.0.195 in the camera software.
To access it with Firefox, I use the .195 address but don't understand what is happening as the modem thinks it is at the DHCP address .103.
Thanks for anyones help.
