Issues with static ip on IOT device, connecting to extender and not router!
I am working on setting up some IOT NodeMCU chips that are running a web page. I ran into an issue and needed a static ip, which I programmed in and all that seems to work fine. I have reserved my ip in my router and that seems to be working, but when the chiip connected before the static ip, it connected to any ip other than the reserved one? Had the correct mac and all seems to have been setup in the router correctly. So I programmed the NodeMCU 8266 chip to "request" a static ip. My programming is working, the only issue is now the chip connects to my range extender, not the router, as I ask for it to connect to the ip and since the range extender has the same password, the chip connects up to the range extender and can't be seen by devices (computers) on the router. I am new to range extenders and wonder how can I differentiate the connection to 192.168.1.1 to be the router and not the range extender?Brother states I need static IP address so printer can reconnect to network
Model C3700-100NAS Brother tech support said that since the wireless printer drops from the network and and then won't reconnect as expected anytime my router hiccups, I should configure the router to hold a static IP address. There is no documentation online for this model nor do I understand any of the terminology. I am able to access my account and view the contents of the advanced tab. Can someone walk me through? Would it be ok for me to post a screen shot of the LAN Setup tab (if that's what I need) or would that violate my security? Thank you.Limited static IP assignment
Dear all, I have just get the modem router Netgear N450 and I try to assign static IP following MAC address. I did 16 IP astatic assignment but when I try to add one more I got the error message "lan address error entry" During the troubleshooting I remove one static and add the other one with success but still failed one I go over 16 IP static. It seems there is a limit of IP static that we can assign on the router. Does anyone have seen this issue? Thanks
