Hello
this is a bit odd, but when i try to change the DHCP to static in WIFI settings, the "connect" button becomes unavailable. Why would that be and how to fix it ?
I'm on S ii 989 with the Jedi Mind Trick 9.
thank you

Is the ip youre assigning available? Have you logged into your router to make sure you dont have an ip conflict? Have you released the lease on your DHCP IP in your router before trying to assign a static one? Are you assigning the correct gateway and subnet mask?

blackangst,
>]Is the ip youre assigning available?
yes, i enter the same IP that this device used with the stock. this includes the net mask and dns.
the behavior is odd , because the "save" ( or whatever the name on the button is ) goes inactive the moment i change the DHCP to "static"...
ohh. i'm stupid . Net length is not exactly the mask... Doh. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062792).
life is good. Question is resolved.

cant find a way to change my ip address (wifi)
when you use a repeater that connects to your gateway, you cant connect through the default ip. I need to assign one
any way?
Using AOKP jb
Are you sure you've got your wifi network configured properly? Ive got a similar setup (main router upstairs that hands out IP addys, another router acting as repeater downstairs that I connect to) and I dont have any issues...

Well mine is the modem connected to a switch. An access point connectec to that and a repeater afterwards xD so yeah the ip address that the windows/android generates cannot connect to the gateway
There.might be a way to optimize this but am also curious about changing the ip address of my phone

Your modem is the DHCP server, so that is what should be assigning an IP, not windows or andriod. If you cant hit your gateway (which should be your modem BTW), changing your IP wont fix your issue. Youve got a disconnect somewhere.
That said, first you need the subnet of your DHCP pool. Something like 192.168.1.100-200. That info is in your router/modem. Then, just manually change the IP of your phone to an IP in that subnet.

You are absolutely right. but I can hit my gateway. I mostly have a problem with the dhcp assigning wrong IPs and I still cant sort it out. But am assigning the clients manually to different IP in my subnet and everything works fine

I would suspect that the repeater is handing out IP's as well. I believe what you are looking for is a repeater bridge which would connects wireless a to wireless a but b doesn't do any routing just passes it along to a. Here's a picture.

Reserve a IP on your first router
Sent from my LG-LS855 using xda app-developers app
what I cant understand is, after I made adjustments. Any pc connects normally with an appropriate IP (DHCP)
Just my phone (havent tried another), although he gets a correct IP and connects but I never get access to the internet.
Bump !!
a sad one
long press the wifi SSID and modify ... glad I got all the help here -_-
My wifi at home worked perfectly fine until about a week or two ago. Since then when I connect to my home wifi it appears to be connected with 5 bar signal but the internet is not working . Sometimes I have internet for few seconds, but than it's gone.
I tried 3 different roms including stock , viperx and cyanogenmod 11 all with the same problem.
What do you suggest me to do ?
are you sure it's not a router issue?

I just tried to use my laptop as a wifi hotspot and it worked so the router seems to be problematic .
But I have 2 laptops connected to the same router and are working fine.
Maybe some bad settings
My router uses Openwrt with most settings default.

check if something like parental control is enabled or if the hox mac number is blacklisted... check also if there are conflicts in dhcp and ip reservation....
I would disable DHCP in your phone and put a static ip.
Hold down on the network name till a windows pops up then go on Modify Network>Show Advanced Options>Ip Settings>Static
IP Address: 192.168.x.128 (The X depends on what range your router is. Just do an ipconfig on your laptop to see, 1 is the most commonly used)
Gateway: 192.168.x.x (That is your router address do ipconfig on your laptop to find the 'Default Gateway'
DNS 1: 192.168.x.x (Same as the router as most routers have their own DNS)
DNS 2: 8.8.8.8 (I normally put google's )

I wasn't able to find parental controls on my openwrt router firmware. I am pretty sure mac filtering is not enabled.
try to hard reset the device...
Has anyone managed to set a static IP address for a WiFi connection? I long press on a WiFi connection, active or inactive, and change DHCP to Static. But the save button is grayed out. In fact, it's grayed out even before I change anything. I've tried changing the IP to a different one that I know is outside the range of DCHP addresses on my router, and that doesn't make a difference.

try to retype the password,
then u should be able to save the setting
Thanks! I should have thought of that.
just updated my SW3 to Android 5.1.1
my office wifi router required every client to set manual/static IP address.
any suggestion how to do this on SW3?

I am pretty sure you can do this in the advanced section of the wifi settings on the watch.
hi i can't find any option to set a static ip. Not on the watch and not on the dialog on the phone where i have to enter the password.
@Joachim Winter have you tried it, cause i dont know how i should set it there?
Thanks
Something like this might work via adb assuming it's just like regular Android?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...tic-ip-address-using-android-debug-bridge-adb
Can't find too much info on changing WiFi configuration with adb
Assigning a static IP address would be an issue on thew watch especially if you want to use the WiFi connectivity option on other networks.
But reserving an address on your router would be a better option, meaning DHCP would always assign the same IP address to your watches MAC address. It's usually under DHCP and Address Reservation in your router settings.
I am wondering if I can enter ssid and password manually. Because thinking of buying it.

Yes you can
Just select join other network from the wifi settings page and enter in the details
The only thing it doesn't support natively is static ip or vpn
So even the FireTV does not support itself a static IP it could be done alternatively with most router/DHCP servers by reserving the desired IP address for the FireTV MAC address.
