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.

Can you provide the specifics of the static route? Are you entering a static route for 192.168.55.32/255.255.255.255? What gateway address are you using? Itself (192.168.55.32)?
I can think of no reason where a static route will help here. Maybe someone theorized that it will keep the router's ARP cache populated, but that hardly seems like a good reason. Static routes are usually used to program the router to reach a remote network. The router obviously knows about its own subnet, and your router is in a standalone network, so any static routes would serve no purpose. But I am curious if you know the specific behind how it keeps the iPad better connected to the mixer.
