IP address for Satellite

I set my Orbi Router to act as an Access Point and gave it a manual IP address. (works without a problem)

Is it possible to set the IP address also for the Satellite? Because at the moment it automaticaly gets one from my Internet Router with DHCP and I didn't find a setting in the menu to configure it.

 

Thanks for your help!

hi

 

you cant set a static ip address on the sat as far as i know but you can access whatever router you are using and reserve an ip address for the sat within the dhcp pool so it gets the same address every time

Re: IP address for Satellite

I reserved addresses for my two satellites in my router dhcp pool and quickly ran into trouble. I allowed the router to auto assign addresses to the sats and then reserved the addresses that were assigned. The next morning I started having problems and realized that I had an address conflict between one of the sats and another device on the network. Somehow the router assigned a different address than the one I had reserved for the sat. Rather than doing any additional investigation, I just took the reservations off and allowed the router to makes its own assignments from the dhcp pool. Everything works fine, but I didn't accomplish my original goal of always having the same addresses for the satellites. I am using an AT&T Arris NVG599 router for what it's worth.
