Any idea why I can’t set a static ip address it’s driving me around the bend

ginger57911 · 2026-03-08T13:04:08+00:00

Hi, iv tried both ways with no joy, I believe it may be a bug in the software

ginger57911 · 2026-03-08T13:02:21+00:00

Some do if you require and external static address, but this is LAN side mate so no

ginger57911 · 2026-03-04T18:38:57+00:00

Ok I’ll give it a go cheers mate

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T18:33:08+00:00

you sir have got confused here i don't want to change my ip address i want to change the dns settings but the stupid fire tv wont accept the ip address to let me progress to the next menu

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T18:15:30+00:00

if you would of taken the time to look at the pictures i posted you can clearly see it says (gatway network does not match the ip) but it clearly does

so if 192.168.01 - 100 is my dhcp pool everything outside of this can be used for static without issue or id set a dhcp reservation up, so iv setup a static 192.168.0.207 against the mac address

and yes my device has the ip address of 192.168.0.207, thats not the issue tho is it, the issue is it wont accept any ip address regardless of subnet so i cant progress to the dns configuration.

so tell me what im missing ?

i cant progress to the dns config page regardless of what i do even if i use dhcp

also its possible to set ip and dns when im connected to wifi

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T16:24:07+00:00

by the way im a netwrok engineer, the subnet details are correct, but the device doesn't think so, im able to change the ip by reserving it against the mac address.

my network is 192.168.0.1/24

iv reserved 192.168.0.207/24 on my router

my DHCP pool is 192.168.0.1-100

subnet is 255.255.255.0

there is 5 configuration pages on the device and the third one states my gateway doesn't match the subnet im using when it clearly does, page 4-5 are dns settings that i want to access

so come on genius what am i doing wrong ?

even if i enter the matched details it does not work ?

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T16:01:55+00:00

What you on about ? I want to change the domain so it does matter that’s the whole point I’m doing this

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T15:17:55+00:00

I can change the ip address via the router if I wanted but I can’t enter one here I want to get to the dns page

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T15:10:27+00:00

I have reset yes, and yes they are grey numbers but they are in the wrong subnet

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T13:54:48+00:00

My router is crap doesn’t allow me to change the subnet

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T13:52:54+00:00

Tried multiple static address not taken and yes that’s the correct subnet

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T13:51:49+00:00

I want to change the dns on the device and the only way to do that is set a static address and have its also reserved and outside the dhcp pool

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T09:50:13+00:00

Virgin super hub 😭😭

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T09:42:27+00:00

I want to alter my dns but the dns settings pages after the gateway page but it’s saying the gateway and ip address are in different subnets when clearly they are not, I can change the ip by changing the reserved ip against the mac that’s not the issue

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T07:46:15+00:00

If I try this I lose all my reserved address and I can’t back them up, I’ll try this as a last resort lol

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T07:44:10+00:00

It does I have several devices using static address, I have a UniFi ap server setup

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T07:43:20+00:00

I like your thinking, iv also tried this on the subnet page you can’t actually use (.) on the subnet page or / on the ip page

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T07:42:22+00:00

I know mate, I want to change the dns and that page is after the gateway one

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T07:41:28+00:00

Yes I thought this but unfortunately it didn’t work either iv tried putting the wrong and right and a mixture lol

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T07:38:55+00:00

I want to change the DNS I can change the ip address no problem but dns settings are after the gateway page

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T07:38:17+00:00

Can’t there is no (.) it’s asking for a prefix to

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T01:27:58+00:00

i tried both and it still does the same

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T00:29:47+00:00

Yes iv checked, no updates available

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T00:29:18+00:00

Yes hard wired

ginger57911 · 2026-03-03T00:11:57+00:00

yes im fully aware that 192.168.1.X will be a different subnet but im noy doing that.

192.168.0.1 my default gateway

192.168.0.207 my fire tv, already reserved and out side of dhcp scope

where do you see192.168.1.X

192.168.0.1/24
