What do you mean with "fix the ip at router level"?
Do you mean using static (fixed) IPs for the nodes?
Getting IPs from the router as DHCP server?
Or using the 2 nodes in some kind of transparant load balancing scheme?
Most, there may be exceptions, allow you to tell the built-in (LAN side) DHCP server to associate IP addresses w/ MAC addresses, "fixing" them as you seem to want to do. The methods & even the name of the feature vary from manufacturer to manufacturer & even from model to model. So:

If you have & still have problem, feel free to post a link to the manual & a page reference.
