I have a TCP Lighting gateway that I've incorporated into the home automation project I'm doing, the 'Connected By TCP' gateway/software isn't that easy to work with. When the gateway loses power, it automatically requests a dynamically assigned IP despite have given it a static on the router... I am unable to assign a static IP within the gateway itself so the router always gives it a new IP. I have a Trendnet TEW 652BRP, it's old but I've kept it as the backbone of my network because of all the static ip's on it plus it's never really given me issues (although I do have several DD-WRT/OpenWRT routers at my disposal if you have any specific suggestions). Anyways, the Gateway in question always comes up as 'lighting' plus there's the device MAC. Is there anyway that the router can filter through the dynamically assigned IP's based on MAC or hostname and then forward to the static IP that I already set? Note that the router already has a static IP that I registered to the device MAC originally, but whenever the gateway reboots it requests and is given an additional dynamic IP to the same MAC.
