Static IP

Setting a Static IP for Raspberry Pi

Search for Settings.
Click on either the Network or Wi-Fi tab, depending on the interface you would like to modify.
To open the interface settings, click on the gear icon next to the interface name.
In the IPv4 tab, select Manual and enter your static IP address, Netmask, and Gateway.
Click on the Apply button.

Ensure the chosen IP won’t interfere with your router’s automatic assignments and that your device remains accessible on the same network.

Check Your Router’s IP Range
- Access your router’s configuration page by typing its IP address into a browser (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
- Look for the DHCP settings page. This will show the range of IP addresses that your router automatically assigns to devices on the network.
- Example: Your router might assign addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100.
Choose an IP Outside the DHCP Range
- Pick a static IP address that is outside the range your router uses for DHCP to avoid conflicts.
- For instance, if your router assigns addresses up to 192.168.1.100, you can choose something like 192.168.1.150 or 192.168.1.200.
Keep IPs in the Same Subnet
- The static IP address you choose must be in the same subnet as your router’s network.
- If your router’s IP is 192.168.1.1, your Raspberry Pi’s static IP should also start with 192.168.1.X (e.g., 192.168.1.150).
- Avoid choosing IPs too low (e.g., 192.168.1.2) or too high (e.g., 192.168.1.254) as these could be reserved for the router or network management purposes.
Avoid Conflict with Other Static IPs
- Make sure no other device on the network is using the IP address you select. You can check connected devices in your router’s interface to ensure there is no overlap.
Test Your IP
- Test IP using ping or other network tools to ensure it works as expected.

ping 192.168.68.1  # Replace with your router's IP
ping google.com    # Check internet connectivity
ping 8.8.8.8 # Google
