@PRKTRAINS posted:Thanks so much for this! i have several really dumb questions. It sounds like nothing else changes in this setting except for the individual IP addresses for the WTIU’s that will become static, i.e. the other instructions are still valid?So here are the dumb questions:#1. Does each WTIU get its own unique IP address?#2. in the vernacular of MTH does that include the “master” WTIU?#3: Is it easier to use LUCI or my system router to change the IP’s to static? (I have no idea how to use my router to assign a static IP address to a WTIU - but come to think of it I have two sons-in-law who are both computer experts!)Thanks againPRK
#1. Does each WTIU get its own unique IP address?
YES
#2. in the vernacular of MTH does that include the “master” WTIU?
NO, each WTIU is treated as an equal in your situation.
#3: Is it easier to use LUCI or my system router to change the IP’s to static?
This depends on your knowledge and skill with computer networking. Depending on the model of your router, there is most likely an instructional guide on how to dynamically assign the same IP address to an attached device every time it appears on the network. Check out this video that gives a general overview of doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G3ePnXAoHc
You'll want to look up a video the references your specific router.
