NOTE:

DHCP Reservation is commonly used when a user utilises their PC on
other networks and not only their home network.
Reserving an IP for a specific MAC Address will assist the user to
obtain the same IP address from the router rather than configuring a
manual IP address on their network adapter.
1. Log in to the modem with the computer connected to the modem via Ethernet.
