Having trouble with Static IP

[Acoshi]

I have a Netgear 624v3 and I wanted to set Static IPs to all of the computers in my house (Mac and Windows). I managed to set the static IPs but my question is that whenever I do a "Renew DHCP Lease" my static IPs disappears and it ends with an IP address that ends in ".1" and when I renew again it goes to a ".2" and so on.

My question is why does it do this and is there a way for it not to assign a brand new IP address when I already have a static IP?

Thanks

You don't do a Renew DHCP Lease when you are on static IP.

Just out of curiosity, why?
