Static IP vs Reserved IP (DHCP Reservation)
A static IP address is an IP address that’s manually set on a NIC (Network Interface Card).
A Reserved IP is a pre-set IP that’s provided by a DHCP Server and given to a NIC when a NIC calls out to a DHCP server for an IP address.

The OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
