How to Assign and Use Static IP Addresses on Private Networks using Wifi Router

Показать описание
In this tutorial, we will learn about assigning Static or Permanent IP addresses to your network computers and devices using Wifi Routers. When organizing your home or office network, it is much easier to manually assign each computer a Static IP address instead of using DHCP settings. DHCP stands for, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which automatically assigns IP addresses to connected network computers.

By default, in Windows, network adaptors are set to obtain IP addresses automatically, so if there are DHCP settings configured, then your network computers will automatically obtain an IP address.

But receiving an automatic IP address from DHCP configuration depends on, first come first serve basis. That means, each computer requests and be assigned an address, every time it’s booted up. So, which one will be booted first, will get an IP address first.

Even though computers will assign addresses automatically, but they will not be static. For instance, a computer having an IP address of 192.168.1.110, maybe assigned a different address on the next bootup. If you have several computers and devices in your home or office network, then assigning them a static or, permanent IP address is a good idea. While troubleshooting network problems, it’s annoying to move to each machine to know what IP address they have. Having a Static IP address in networks also prevents conflicts between devices, and you can manage network computers more easily.

You can easily assign a Static IP to a network computer by changing the LAN adaptor settings from Network and Sharing Center. Then manually enter the IP address from TCP / IP Protocol. But this might cause a conflict if the same IP address is given to another computer or device in the same network, and for an organization having hundreds of computers in a network environment, it is not a good idea to manually enter the IP addresses.

This tutorial will configure the router to automatically assign a fixed IP to a particular computer or device, having a certain MAC address. MAC, Media Access Control addresses, also called the physical addresses, are unique identifier codes assigned to network interface cards or devices, for communications on the network. MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer and are stored in the device hardware. Assigning IP addresses based on the device’s MAC addresses will make the IP address permanent unless you change them yourself. When you send or receive data over the network, then computers are identified by their IP addresses, and which IP address corresponds to which computer is identified by the MAC address.

To change or configure the router settings, first, you need to know, how you can access them? You can find the instructions in the documentation that comes with the router. Mostly, the login link, user name, and password are also printed on the backside of the router. Do remember, this tutorial is just for information purposes, as different routers are configured differently. This tutorial will give you a little bit of an idea about how to set things up?

can i set a static ip address of a router in one location and use my laptop from another location using another network with the same static ip??

So i'm in a university dom and we actually got some ipv4 specified for each one of us, the problem is that ppl keep putting each other IP so we sometimes get left out of the network. I've got a router but I cant figure out how to make it have that static IP on it so nobody can take it and actually not needing to put ips on my phone or laptop when I need to connect. Something like my laptop does, when I got for ex 192.168.7.55 ipv4 and open hotspot when I connect with my phone on it, even without static ip on my phone I;ve internet access, how can I do that same thing on my router?

I want to set the static ip in my PC and not in the router.
When I am doing that with the same ip range, the internet is getting disconnected. How to solve this?

so will you always leave the router on DHCP when then computers plugged to it are assigned static IP addresses too...what happens when you give the router a static IP address instead of leaving on dhcp?

so when choosing a new IP address, are we suppose to pick and IP address outside of that range? my router has a range of 1-254, so does this mean that I need to pick an IP address outside of that range? like 192.168.0.255??

I wanted to make a linux web server in my home. So a static public ip is needed for that server to publish my contents publicly. If i do as well as you say and restart the router isn't the server public ip will change ?

Hi: after switching internet provider we were unable to upload pictures. we switched routers & x-box & 4 loptops we have get internet except the desktop. our internet provider is refusing technical support due to the fact that we have internet. After watching your excellent video, It seems that after the switch the ip address was changed and for some reason the desktop is not getting it automatically like the rest of the technology we own. Your video is excellent but we aren't techies & don't think we can fix this ourselves. Our internet provider should fix this problem, right what do you think?

Can anyone who uses the router log in to the same TP-link and make different setting for each user? My brother has warned me a couple times to disable me from uploading and downloading, now hè left the house for a week and I cant even upload my Windows, I cant play any games, I can only use google.... I loged in to TP-LINK and dont see any change in the settings. So I thought maybe the settings he entered on TP-link are only visable on his computer, is this poseble?
