(OBJ.2.4)
Scenario
The front-desk laser printer keeps dropping off everyone's saved connection: its IP changed over the weekend. It's a DHCP client with no reservation, so if its lease lapses (say, the printer is off over a weekend), it can come back on a different address. The office also wants to stop using the ISP's slow DNS servers. Log in at http://192.168.1.1 (admin / admin) in Microsoft Edge, then: • Under LAN & DHCP, reserve 192.168.1.20 for the printer's MAC, 7C:4D:8F:11:22:33. • Under DNS, switch to custom servers with 1.1.1.1 as the primary. A public secondary such as 8.8.8.8 is optional. Then, in the Command Prompt, run ipconfig /all to check the PC's own DNS entry, and nslookup fileserver to see which server answers.
