Windows 10: DHCP reverting back to a static IP after reboot

This should be simple but I had a static IP set for patching and such. Moved to DHCP and now after every reboot it is reverting back to static IP. Ive tried setting to DHCP and /release and ./renew but just sets it to the same static IP.Any thought

Static IP on Lumia 950.

Hi,

Follow the steps below and check if the features to apply static IP is available in your device.

• Navigate to settings.
• Search or navigate to “Wi-Fi”.
• Scroll all the way down and tap “static ip”.
• Turn on “Configure network settings manually”.
• Key in the IP address, subnet mask and other details

Note: Do remember that your router / DHCP should support allocating static IP for this feature to work.

If the above feature is not available then your model may not support the same.

Hope this helps

Regards

 

DHCP on a static IP Network

Hi All. I have a static IP environment setup My router is alo assigned a static ip address and that is used as the internet gateway. I also have various wifi access points set up but the one I need to use for this question is a Ubiquiti Unifi Access point.
I have one device I would like to grant access to the network via wifi. This device unfortunately only supports DHCP connections and while it does connect to the access point it cannot use the gateway for internet access. I'm guessing it's expecting the settings
from the access point but since the ap is connected to the static network with manual settings its not broadcasting them to the device. The Unifi Ap can broadcast up to 4 wireless networks and each can be set up differently. Is there a way to get the ap to
broadcast to my device using its built in dhcp server and still facilitate internet access through my static network's gateway?

Static IP adress vs DHCP

Does your router support specific IP address reservations? Any client in the Address Reservation table will always get the same IP address. The client gets set to DHCP but it always pulls the same IP address from the router. That way the router handles the DNS name lookup for the local network.





Also, is the network connection on the computer set as a private network?

Is Network Discovery turned on?
