Windows 10: Windows randomly changes static IP to DHCP

The setup I'm using requires a static IP.From time to time, haven't figured out any pattern, Windows 10 changes it back to DHCP. Sometimes the "new" settings menu shows DHCP, while the old style Control Panel > Network still shows the values I've set to.Any ideas what can be done?Thanks in advance,

Windows randomly changes static IP to DHCP

The setup I'm using requires a static IP.

From time to time, haven't figured out any pattern, Windows 10 changes it back to DHCP. Sometimes the "new" settings menu shows DHCP, while the old style Control Panel > Network still shows the values I've set to.

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?
