Unable to set device IP to static

Go to solution

Hello all,

 

So I'm trying to set my laptop's IP to static due to running a test server on it which I share with my partner's laptop. The server is accessed by using my laptop's IP so you can imagine I don't want to keep updating the IP address on my partner's laptop each time the lease expires.

 

I've gone into the router's advanced settings > my network > device and then changed the option "Always use this IP address" so that's showing as yes, then I click Save. I see in the top right that it says saving changes and then it says changes saved however if I refresh the page it will go back to no for "Always use the IP address".

 

Am I right in thinking that the changes have not saved?

Just set the static IP on your laptop instead of hub.  Set it to  say 192.168.1.40.  just keep the last number below 50 to stay outside the hub DHCP
