Your opinion noted. it's not an opinion. he should *not* have a fixed ip address on his phone. that is only going to cause a world of problems, especially since he doesn't understand what he's doing. what he wants is a reserved address, which is done at the router. |

Setting his phone to use a static IP while connected to his home network, would be a good idea if (when) he sets his router to use a static IP for that device. If he wants to connect to other networks away from home he should set his phone to use DHCP with them if that's what they expect (which it probably is, as a general rule). -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

I didn't say it wasn't easy to change, just that it is sometimes the default router address. It can make things (a bit) difficult sometimes if you change the router's address because if/when you have to do a reset everything goes awry. -- Chris Green · |

Setting his phone to use a static IP while connected to his home network, would be a good idea it's a horrible idea because he'd have to change it every time he leaves the house and back again when he returns. that's a ****load of effort for absolutely no reason, since what he claims to want can be done entirely automatically. if (when) he sets his router to use a static IP for that device. there's nothing to set. the router doesn't care. If he wants to connect to other networks away from home he should set his phone to use DHCP with them if that's what they expect (which it probably is, as a general rule). he should set it to dhcp and leave it that way, particularly since he doesn't understand what he's doing and is likely going to make things worse. if he wants a particular ip address while at home (which can be useful at times although very rarely for a phone), reserve that ip address at the router. that way, the phone will work everywhere without needing to constantly modify the network settings for every location. there won't be any conflicts either. he hasn't said *why* he wants this, and quite likely, there's an even easier solution. |

This does not make sense. A static address for a device is set on the device, not on the router. If the router reserves and always assigns the same predefined IP address to the MAC address of the phone in DHCP mode (and never to any other device), it's always the same...works exactly like a static address when connected to that router. And it's all done in the router. While you're in there, program the access point to restrict connections to only those MAC addresses you choose. That won't keep the hackers out, but will provide a little inhibition to your neighbors borrowing your internet connection. You can surely construct a situation where the router has its DHCP server disabled, but that's a contrived/rare case. Anybody doing that won't have any trouble dealing with the issues that causes with phones. |

If the router reserves and always assigns the same predefined IP address to the MAC address of the phone in DHCP mode (and never to any other device), it's always the same. It is fixed but still dynamically assigned, not static. I referred to it as address reservation. It's functionally equivalent to static IP when used with the home router. Consider the nit picked, even though it detracts from understanding. |

And yes, his want/need *is* a legitimate one. no it isn't. there is no valid reason why a *phone* needs a static ip address. |

This does not make sense. A static address for a device is set on the device, not on the router. To work properly, it needs to be set on both. As nospam pointed out, the router does not care that a device has a static address. What kind of precise setting do you think would be needed on the router ? |
