How to Retain Static IP Address on Netgear WBE710 After Reboot or Firmware Update
I am using the Netgear WBE710.
Currently, I have enabled the DHCP server on the router and assigned an IP address to the AP by setting a reserved IP for its MAC address.
Ideally, I would like to set a fixed IP address directly on the AP, but even if I configure a static IP, the IP setting reverts to automatic (DHCP) after a firmware update or reboot.
Is there any way or setting that allows the AP to retain the static IP address configuration even after a reboot?

Is the Ap in Insight managed mode or WEB page managed mode. For WEB page managed mode, then set static configuration on the AP using a web browser. I had mine in Insight mode and was able to set Static IP address configuration using the Insight app.
