EX6200 will not stay connected to Dell desk top computer
Extender works fine but when computer is left idle for a day it is disconnected when I come back.

I contacted Spectrum. They said that they only provide static IP addresses for business customers.
I guess I am stuck with the promblem. It is not too bad. When it disconnects I turn off the Wifi extender and turn it back on. It usually reconnects in about 3 minutes.

there's internal ip static addresses (computers, phones, tablets, etc) and external. Spectrum is correct in that for their external addresses.
Internal are set by the router.
what actual spectrum router is it.

Because spectrum likes to lock there stuff down, (even manuals) here's what I could find for assigning static ip addresses with that router.

Thanks, this might be a little over my head but I will study it some and see what I can do.
