Is it possible to set a static IP address?
5 months ago
Yes, it is possible to set a static IP address for a device on your network.
### Steps to assign a static IP address:
- You need to access the settings on your router or internet box. For example, if you use Google Wifi, you can use the Google Home application to access the advanced network settings and add IP address reservations.
- Select the device to which you want to assign a static IP address and enter the IP address you want to use. Make sure the IP address is within the range allowed by your network and is not already being used by another device.
- Save the changes and, if necessary, disconnect and reconnect the device to the network so that the new IP address can be assigned.
### Important considerations:
- Avoid using IP addresses that are reserved for DHCP or other specific devices, such as TV set-top boxes. For example, for a network using the `192.168.1.x` range, it is often recommended to use IP addresses outside the range reserved for DHCP, typically between `192.168.1.129` and `192.168.1.254`.
- Ensure that the static IP address is configured correctly, including subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers.
