It is a Netcomm NF18ACV. Provided by our internet provider so not a top of the range one for sure.
I just downloaded and skimmed through one of two Netcomm NF18ACV User Guides I found online https://support.netcommwireless.com/api/...0Guide.pdf)
The good news? This looks to be a very capable device which exposes tons of settings in the UI. The bad news? The user guide reads like an encyclopedia and takes concentrated effort to find what you want.
In the specific 96-page guide I downloaded, the setups needed for the two options that Tim described can be found on pages 66 / 67. These fall under Advanced -> LAN -> Local Area Network IPv4 in the table of contents.
On page 66 is described how to set the "DHCP start range" and 'DHCP stop range". On page 67 is described how to the "DHCP static IP lease facility" to reserve DHCP addresses for specific hosts.
Either method will work; I prefer using DHCP reservations so that all the other details like gateway and name server addresses are set in the client automatically. YMMV.
ETA - "Ethernet" is in the subject line of the OP but it discusses WiFi. These address assignment options work with either but the MAC addresses will be different for the two interfaces on the connecting hosts.
