Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?
Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?
Asking for clarification as what I've read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well.
Thanks in advance!

the best practice is to keep your dhcp pool and reservations from overlapping, but on a home network its usually easier to let a device acquire an ip via dhcp and then create the reservation for that address.
