I have a BrennanB2 audio storage and playback device connected to my wifi. The Brennan's IP address changes; 1-whenever I shut down the Brennan, or 2-on seemingly random occasions. In the Brennan setup guide, the suggestion is to "Fix" an IP address to this one device, leaving all other attached devices unchanged.
There are two common approaches to this. If the Brennan allows it, you can go into its controls and tell it to use a fixed IP address. Then, whenever it starts it will use that IP address.
The other approach is to use a web browser and the graphical user interface to get at the controls for the RAX10 and go to the setting
- Advanced
- Setup
- LAN Setup
- Address Reservation
- Add
Find the Brennan and add that to the Reservation Table.
Details here in the manual:
Manage reserved LAN IP addresses

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That should have the same effect. Your Brennan will always use the same IP address on your network.
