Within the HH3, can static IP's be assigned to devices? More specifically, can I assign the static IP, not the HH3?

Is port forwarding straightforward enough?

I assume you don't mean static IP address here but rather a pre-determined DHCP address - well yes you can use the HH3 to do this. I just configured it to give my desktop the address 192.164.1.214 and it did exactly that.

Port forwarding is very straight forward although you have to define a "service" ie I want to route something to port 7000 on a specific server so first step is to define a service where incoming port 7000 gets mapped to port 7000. This also means you can do port address translation if you so desired. Once you defined the service you can then setup redirection of that service to a specific IP address within your network.

Having said that I have just ordered myself a Netgear WNDR3700 as I miss features I had on my old Netgear router I got from Sky such as web site blocking

Read the deletion message .

Thanks.

Been there, done that myself

Now a true gentleman would remove the content of their own post .

Ah, but I attribute that quality to you .

Ta!

Must have been a brainstorm moment.

The humour is retained though

Say for example, I'd like a device to have an internal IP of 192.164.1.222, can I set a device to have that IP reservation from the HH3, rather than setting it on the actual device/computer?

Ok, sounds straightforward enough, thanks.

I'm using a Netgear 834GT and it allows the level of customisation I need, in particular, the assigning of internal static IP's. I would look at alternatives, but it's additional cost that I don't want to spend.

You can indeed, that is exactly what I just did except I used 192.168.1.214 in my example

I have my Vodafone Sure Signal plugged into the Home Hub 3 on infinity and it works fine, no issues at all.
