In my home wifi network, I have listed some devices to allocate the bandwidth. I am using TP Link WiFi router of model number TL-WR740N.
Under Bandwidth Control -> Rules List, I have a couple of devices i.e. android phones. I have mentioned Egress Bandwidth and Ingress Bandwidth in Kbps. They are based on IP address taken from DHCP -> DHCP Clients List.
Everything was working pretty fine before a problem started. My computer was assigned an IP 192.168.0.100 and it is not listed in the Bandwidth control list rules. The two other android devices with IP addresses 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.0.102 are in the list with a low bandwidth. But today, when I started using internet on my computer, I realized that I was not getting high speed.
Then I checked the TP Link configuration, then I saw the same IP address devices were listed in the rules. So it was OK like before but when I saw the DHCP clients lists to see the connected devices then I was shocked to see that my computer's IP address was changed from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.102. So finally I came to know that why I was not getting good internet speed like before and I was just added in the rules list.
The rule I defined for other devices was automatically applied to my own computer without my knowledge. So I am wondering how can I fix it? Is there any solution so that I can keep my computer's IP address static and it doesn't change. It must be always equal to 192.168.0.100. Please help me on this topic.
