How do I set Fixed IP Addresses in an iMac?

Question

I am having trouble with smartplugs in Homekit staying connected, and the manufacturer, (Meross), suggested setting fixed IP Addresses for the plugs. The iOS App shows them, but I do not se a way to set a fixed address.

fixed IP is added on the device in question. What you need is reserved DHCP IP addresses. Got to http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 and in the Advanced page you can set up reserved IPs for your devices.
