Using DHCP, the other term for static assignment is reservation. That is what I find on my netgear box. It is typically associated with a portion of the LAN side under dhcp. In my netgear box, it one of two settings for the lan side.
When you provide a reservation you can also hand out a hostname. Depending on the router, and where DNS is pointed, you could also get the name.
