Linksys WRT54GL - assign static IP to MAC address?

So I just replaced my Netgear router with a Linksys WRT54GL at home. In netgear there is an address reservation function in which you can assign a static IP to each computer using their MAC addresses. Can you do that with WRT54GL? I have browsed through the admin interface and can't find any. If not, is there any 3rd party firmware that does that? I want to have static ip for each computer for port forwarding purpose.

My WRT54GL has the linksys firmware version 4.30.2. Thanks in advance.

I'll assume you know that static IP(s) are those IP(s) that cannot be issued by the DHCP server on the router.

If the DHCP Issue Count is 10, then IP(s) 192.168.1.100 through

192.168.1.110 are the DHCP IP(s). 192.168.1.111 to 254 are static IP(s), along with 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99.

YOu're correct. The stock Linksys firmware does not support "static DHCP", "reserved DHCP", "reserved leases", "Pre-assigned DHCP", or whatever it's called this week.

DD-WRT and the other alternative firmware such as OpenWRT all support static DHCP.
