Here I just log into the router and assign a permanent IP to the Pi zero
W's MAC address.

Taken from my router's set up pages I have:

the DCHP client list (part of) shows

 picam3 B8:27:EB:FA:41:BA 192.168.1.113 Permanent
 picam6 B8:27:EB:AC:B4:E4 192.168.1.116 Permanent
 picam1 B8:27:EB:48:55:0E 192.168.1.111 Permanent
 picam2 B8:27:EB:DA:86:40 192.168.1.112 Permanent


The DHCP Address Reservation (part of) shows

 74:DA:38:54:3E:86 192.168.1.115 Default Enabled Edit

and the Wireless MAC Filtering settings (part of) shows

 B8:27:EB:AC:B4:E4 Disabled picam6 Edit
 B8:27:EB:47:67:DF Disabled picam8 Edit

All easily set up via the router's web interface at 192.168.1.1 (yours
may be different; try 192.168.1.254)

It all really depends on what your router's capabilities are.
