Sorry, its model is BEFSR41
Exclude ip address as in? You want to block a machine (with a certain mac address)? Because by default, the router runs dhcp, which assigns ip addresses from a pool of addresses it has. So there is no point in 'excluding' an ip from this. Give your exact use case.
Linksys router is addigned to 10.1.105.2 with a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0

My linksys DHCP server will hand out addresses from
the 10.1.105 subnet.  
I have exclude from 10.1.105.200  to 10.1.105.220 , the whole range of IPs.

I dont want that linksys router assign above mentioned IP address to any machine because these IP will be used for some particular machines.

Question is, Is there any way you can block range of IP address in DHCP server(linksys router) so that it does not assign those IP's to any machine automatically ??? I tried to look in linksys setting but could not find.

Only had a really brief glance (seeing as it's almost 3am) but there appears to be stuff there about setting static IP addresses, worth a read if you haven't already.

Thanks a lot you guys for your feedback. I assume there is no direct way in my router for excluding IP address. I already doing it in some other ways, as mentioned by some of you. e.g. setting max number of addresses and/or starting address.
I will split points.
Thanks again.
