Thank you! I appreciate how you made EVERY step VERY clear for those of us whom aren't so "tech savvy". You made it simple to follow along & I was able to successfully set a static ip! Thank you once again!
Thank you. I have a netgear Xr700 router and I was in "static routes" section, where you can give it a name, add destination ip address, ip subnet mask and gateway ip address..which was the WRONG section lol Your video helped me out so much!
Very straight to the point, resourceful and with guides of app and software info. Seen a lot of videos and this one is straight to point with no half ass demonstration or rambling... Thank you! Curious though, DHCP feature I could of sworn I hear people turn off for faster/better service and speed... is this true or why keep it on? And that LAN Setup tab, I thought you would have to do what you did in this video under WAN? Sorry if so much questioning but figured you'd fill me in more.
Thank you for your comment MixiChriS! I'm glad to ear it. Going straight to the point and give the info as fast as possible without any useless blah blah is exactly the purpose of this channel. :) I set a static IP to almost every device on my network to gain in stability. This doesn't increase the speed of the network. I keep a DHCP range available for new devices who arrives on the network, other way, I would have to login in the router every single time I want to add a devices on it. I did a video on one of my other channel about the way a network works. You may like to take a look at it. : ruclips.net/video/tDX-Adf9p_U/видео.html Thanks a lot again for your comment and have an happy new year!!! :D
hopefully this is clearer. one example is at the 2:42 mark in the video it shows the starting ip address as 2 and the ending id address as 99. (of course I am only mentioning the last digits). Yet in some of the ip address below for actual devices they show an ip address above 99. Even in the voice over it refers to 99 being the highest ip address that can be given out. I think it should be around 254. Even the initial example of selecting an id address for the device I think you chose a number higher than 100 which is not consistent with the implied highest ip being 99 (see video at the time mark mentioned and the voice over which led me to think your route had a high ip address of 99). It would see lik the range should have ben 2 to 254 and not 2 to 99.
Well this is what I wanted. Between 2 and 99, is the DHCP range. Mean that any new devices that come to the network will be assign with one of thoses adress. The one above it are actually devices that I manually give an IP adress on the network. I like to keep my device by cathegory so when I want to connect to them, I don't have to search what are their IP adress. Like my NAS, I always know they are a 190, 191, 192, 193 and 194. I will set my next one at 195. It's easier to manage.
No 99 is the highest that will automatically be assigned by the router. This is what a DHCP scope / range / pool is. Addresses above that can be manually allocated to specific devices using the method shown in this video.
dude! talk about the advanced tab and the static address section. wtf is the difference? If I want to assign specific addresses, do I use the static section? I have 27 devices that I have and want to set my own static ip from a specific range in the router.
@@HowToPM My problem is that I could only access the files through the online website and not through its IP address as I used to be able to do before. Seems that it won't recognize it on the network. I used to be able to access it easy and mapped it and all of that...
Unfortunately no, This video is about local IP address. If you have a problem with your public IP address, you should use a VPN. I personally like ''VPN unlimited''.

I don't think it will change anything if you have that kind a problem. This will only apropriate an adress to a device acording to it's mac adress. This mean your computer will always have the same adress.
+Paragliding Unlimited Better Stability Avoid double ip conflict Get organized with every group of devices (exemple all my NAS are at .190 . 191 . 192...) You also nees to do this when you are port forwarding with cameras.
what is confusing is the issue that he says and the netgear page indicates that the only available addresses are between 2 and 99 yet many of the devices and even the one he was adding used numbers above 99

@@TurboSpeedWiFi So, mine says 254 for the high end. Can I make that lower, say 150 and then assign a static address between 150 and 254 to avoid conflict?
Hello, I’ve been having issues with Sonos and Wemo Smart plugs since I recently updated to Netgear WiFi router. I find myself having to reboot my modem and WiFi router every day because it loses Sonos and Wemo connection. Once I reboot everything, it works for about a day, then I have to repeat the process. Will creating a Static IP help this resolve this problem? Thank you in advance for any ideas.
Well, I never use Wemo, but about Sonos, my first recommendation is to have at least one device connected Hard Wire. Then yes, having your speaker on a reserved IP adress can improve it's stability. All of my device at home are on a reseve IP adress.
Yes this will still work. Your router will still be able to know the Mac Adress of your device, but the date will be encripted. But yes, this will still work.
Yes. What you see from 2 to 99 is the HDCP pool reserve for the router to automatically assign to the devices that connect on it. So when you manually add devices, I think it's just logic to start doing it after that range. There is no problem to go up to 254.

I found this when searching how to connect my xbox to the internet. I connected to wifi but live games still don't work. it's for my 10 year old son. But I followed all these steps in the video and live still wont work. Any suggestions ? Or videos you can link me to to help.
Sorry i've just saw your comment. This video won't unfortunately help you to connect the xbox. I don't have a xbox but generally you must fund the wi-fi setting under network setting, select your wi-fi network and input the wi-fi password. Let me know if I can do something else.
Nope, it only reserve the IP adress. NAt = netword adress translation. It's a kind a way to comunicate. Or it mostly the job the router do between your home network and your modem.
This guide fucked me royally. After clicking "apply" it started updating the settings. Then an xfinity login page popped up and now I'm locked out of my gateway because only my landlord has the xfinity login and he's always away on business. Can't even login to my router. Just great...
Hello Daniel, This is a great question. You should find the option to change your IP address range in ''LAN'' settings. I will take in note to make a video about this. Thank you for your question and have a great day!

Hello there! Is there any chance you can do a video on the Nighthawk X6 r8000 netgear nighthawk router? I'm having trouble setting up the static route
Hi Liam. Unfortunately I don't have that router. But the route should be similar to this one. Maybe the menu is just a bit different.
So, when doing this, does it matter if I got a NETGEAR GS108 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch?
Hi George. It does not matter. The switch is just an extension of the router.

that happend to me to, by doing this, did it fix it right away?
@@HyrOptix No this does nothing for a blacklisted public IP. Simply request an IP change with your ISP or use a VPN.

I was trying to do this, but my WAN and LAN are Grey and cant click on them... What now?
Do you not need to go into windows and assign your static IP in network manager?
If you assign it from the router, you don't need to set it up from the computer.

shouldn't I use the IP address provided to me by my ISP ??? the address i got from my ISP isnt 192.168.1.X

i feel like a moron for not realizing this
like
that is a reservation address not a static
Your are right.
In a way it make the adresse static, but the right term is ''reservation''.
Did this and my xbox nat went open for 10 min then back to strict
i'm not familiar with xbox. I don't understand why this can give you a problem. Can you disable nat?

@@insainperson6018 Correct. A static IP on its own will not change your NAT type. It is simply the first step to setting up port forwarding.
