R7800 will not take static IP address entry
I can not get my new R7800 to accept a static IP address entry. It keeps coming up with an invalid IP address entry warning message. My R7000 router set up and works perfect using the same static I...
Just wanted to let you know that I got it figured out, problem was in my set up at the mixer end.
As for the reason the static IP works better than DHCP I don't really know other than it really does help.
the Ipad itself never would disconnect but the mixer control app would.
The wifi link between the mixer and the Ipad is only for control data, no program audio is carried over the wifi.

The problem is that the gateway address, 192.168.1.254, is not in the subnet (192.168.55.0/255.255.255.0).
There are a couple of things that are unclear.
First, what device is at 192.168.1.254?
Second, what device is at 192.168.55.32?
I did not mean to hit the solution button, Big fingers on a small tablet!
There is no device at 192.168.1.254
The device at 192.168.55.32 is a digital audio mixer.
In the digital mixer I can change the gateway.
I did not change the gateway when I set the IP on the
mixer.
Thanks

What does your setup look like and what are you using it for?
Are you using the R7000 in either AP or bridge mode?
Are you talking about the default gateway setting on the router or the mixer? In any case, it should usually point to whatever is functioning as a router. But in the off chance that you don't have a router or don't want traffic from the mixer to go off of the subnet, then the default gateway still needs to be set to something in side the subnet. It can be a non-existent device (e.g. 192.168.55.254, assuming that there is nothing with that address).
Hello
My R7000 is set up in the standard router mode.
I'm using the R7000 and planning to use the R7800 in a stand alone LAN connecting the digital mixer
via wifi to my Ipads.
The default gateway is what is on the mixer.
I spoke with a couple of people this morning at Netgear support and the closest work around was to set up an IP reservation.
It involved setting the mixer back to DHCP, letting the router find it and assign an address, going to the IP reservation menu, changing the DHCP assigned IP to the mixers needed static IP, resetting the mixer back to static mode, narrowing the DHCP range back down.
That seems to work now.
Needless to say this wireless network system has to work everytime it's set up at a new location when running sound via Ipad. I operate only the 5g band, at most maybe I'll need to change the router to a different operating channel for a solid connection with the R7000. I was hoping for even better performance with the R7800, maybe the R7800 has a static IP set up issue.
I also tried downgrading the R7800 firmware back down one revsion, I updated it as soon as I unpacked it. The firmware downgrade did not change anything so upgraded it again to the current version.
Any IP address I try to set up in the adavanced static route configuration menu comes back with a error message 'Invalid destinstion IP address" I also tried various gateway address varations.
