The problem with assigning the ip address from the laptop is a) hubby would need to change this when moving from work to home and b) the router will still have already given out the desired ip address to a home computer switched on before hubby's pc.

As far as we can see the video conferencing software requires him to be first on the router list. So I need to be able to reserve the ip address from the router or go through the rigmarole of switching everything off and rebooting the router.
