Never use Address Reservation in the router.  You want a Static IP set in the router.  That's why it has to be outside the DHCP table of the router.

 

You need to read your printer manual to set the static IP in the printer.  I don't have that printer.

Oh, BTW... your router is actually a Gateway device.  Modem + router which are known for terrible wireless connectivity.   Also, it is fully controlled by your ISP as they downloaded custom firmware to lock functions.   That why you may not be able to change the DHCP addresses.

 

The best thing to do is to have a separate router and separate modem.   The ISP controls your modem with their firmware but they can't touch your router.  You have full control over that device including any firmware updates.

 

You can put the Gateway device in Full Bridge Mode (turns off the router, makes it a modem only device) and now connect your own high quality router that you control.

Interesting, did not realize there was an issue with a combined unit. I thought reserving an address on the router was the same as setting a static IP, but your saying static IP is set on the device not router? Or is it just in my case its a little different than the link you had sent before?

Everything outside the DHCP range in the router is  set aside for static IPs in the router.  This is not the same as a reserved IP in the DHCP table.

 

Your router itself grabs the first one at 192.168.0.1.   Now you set the static IP on the device (printer) itself to use that location in the router.

 

Just make sure you don't have 2 static IPs the same.   This will cause a conflict that the user must know and sort out.

 

The link is just an example with HIS router that he was using with his defaults. 

 

According to your router manual, 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.9 are available for static IP in the router.
