Assign Static IP in Wifi Attachment

[monte455]

Well I had everything all set and working great until my private IP's renewed and my RA was assigned a different IP from the router. This is where commonly it seems most via their routers assign a static ip based on Mac address etc. In some routers this is easy in others it's a headache. I have a link sys wrt54g and tried through the router which is Imo one of the more difficult ones to set a static ip in. So my next option is to set the static ip in the wifi attachment. I want to set it to something like 192.168.1.120 and have it always request that ip assignment from the router. Anyone done this and if you don't mind sharing how please.

You need to use a serial terminal such as teraterm or putty.
The command is:

Code: Select all

set ip address <address> 
set ip net <address>
set ip gateway <address>
save
reboot

Here is the manual for your reference:

Do I include the brackets <>
Net=255.255.xxx.x?
Gateway is router ip=192.168.1.1

Thanks for the quick helpful respone.

The linksys interface is not bad for reserving a static ip address.. it's just hard to find the box that does it.

It should be straightforward though. What model / firmware are you running and I can help you locate the configuration.

For the linksys I believe it's all stock firmware, I'll double check when home in about 4.5 hours.

There are different versions of the firmware though depending on the age of the unit Older firmware did not have support for reservations.
