What model of Velop are you running. I can pull the manuals and see if I can glean the way to do it. You've helped me enough . . .
Otherwise . . .
But I trust there is a way to do IP Address Reservations and hopefully it allows you to go outside the set IP Range?
My ISP rpovided Router has great software that allows for Subnets to be created and attached to a specific port. "Managed Switch" of sorts. I have set this on to the maker of the routers I'm using now and they really like the concept. That makes life so much better and will swapping back to it today.
Below is the set up I have at the moment. Since I keep swapping Routers it's not complete. I have the WiFi Mesh System in AP Mode at the moment and I have to build a table to work off of to make all routers have the same IPARs for Devices. I have noticed that Devices tend to get confused and cranky when the IPAR is changed a lot. Access Control is turned off so that anything that comes along with the correct login credentials can go on and I can assign an IPAR.
Below the IP Range: All Networking gear
In the IP Range: All standard Devices
Above the IP Range: The Hoppers
