Web UI and Dynamic I.P. address

[Steve Russ]

Hello all, 

This is not really an issue with the B2, but rather an issue on some networks that assign dynamic I.P. addresses, which my router does. 

Nearly every time I log into the Web U.I. I have to change the last 1 or 2 digits of the B2's I.P. address to match the new assignment to my B2. Annoying to say the least. I suspect this has to do with what is currently on my network at the time I power up the B2

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this from occurring? I have a Motorola MG7315 cable router. 

Thanks, everyone, 

Steve

Yes,

It is of cause the Router's job to assign/provide the IP number for the B2 to use as the B2 boots.

Thus one needs to get the router to always assign the SAME IP number to the B2 - "fix" the IP Number,

Most routers have a means for doing this.

I think this is the bit your want

You may also need to get the MAC address of the B2's WiFi dongle.

Hi Steve,

The MAC address can be shown on the B2 by pressing INFO on the remote twice.

Excellent, thanks for the info Fred and Paul. I will look into it.
