Disklavier

With my router (Linksys), I can turn on DHCP and give a starting 
address. I don't see a feature named similar to what you suggest.

I had been in the practice of having DHCP start at X.Y.Z.129 and 
assigning static IP addresses for those devices where I have been 
able to do so beginning at X.Y.Z.1. (Note X, Y, and Z are all fixed 
numbers less than 255 representative of my private network.)

On what basis does your router assign the same IP address to a 
device? Does it use the MAC? Do you provide the MAC to your router? 
Otherwise what else about the device can the router detect before it 
assigns an IP address?

On nearly all devices that are permanent on my home network I've been 
able to assign a static IP address. I can't imagine the piano going 
anywhere.... And I get tired of the URL to the Virtual PRC changing.
