I have some Raspberry Pis I'd like to give static internal addresses to (not for any external purpose.) I'm used to having a router I can give specific MAC addresses static internal IPs, but am new to Sonic. Is there any admin access to the router configuration (I'm guessing no, but I figured I might as well ask.)

I wonder how long the DHCP leases generally last...

I ditched the RG when I switched to fiber, but you should be able to set up static leases in the RG. Point a web browser at the IP address you get as your router (likely http://192.168.42.1/), and you should get an admin page. The default password was printed on the bottom/back of the RG in the case of the one I had for Fusion.

Thanks! That's definitely the right IP. For others looking for this:
- didn't have to log in at first
- The right place is Settings > LAN > LAN IP Address Allocation
- Find the device, change Address assignment from "Private from Pool" to "Private Fixed" - choose address.
- Save (then you need to log in with the password on the device.)
