I'm using a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 as my modem/router. I have a wireless network generated from a TEW-637AP that is repeated on the other side of my house by an Amped Wireless SR300. The SR300 has its own SSID and IP. I have a printer and a laptop that regularly connect to the SR300's network and I would like to be able to set static IP addresses for them both and I was wondering what is the simplest way to go about doing this? The laptop is an Acer and the printer is a Brother HL-2270DW.

Based on what I've read there are a few different ways to do this and I want to choose the one that is the least beset by complication. Many thanks.

The simple way is to find what device is acting as DHCP server in your network and check if the DHCP configuration allow you to associate a fixed IP to the device, this way you don't need to do any changes on the clients when you need to connect to other wireless networks.

As long as the address is on the same network you can just give it an address. Go into the properties of the wireless connection you are using, the IPv4 properties, click on Use the Following address and enter the information. 

If your DHCP hands out 192.168.1.x just make the X a number that is not being used. Most routers out of the box start DHCP assignments at a number other than the lowest they can I think Linksys starts at 192.168.1.100 and hand out addresses above that but the range is from 192.168.1.1 -  254 provided you don't mess with the subnet mask. so any address not in use that is in that range will work.

The printer should have a static IP just in case something happens and it gets assigned a different IP then you have set in the PCs so you don't have to go fix each PC. The computer is either way is fine.

What SleepyDude is referring to is called ip reservations.  This is where you associated the mac address of the device with the dhcp address you want it to have.  You can do this IF your routers dhcp server supports it.

Otherwise you have to do make sure you statically assign ips that are not in the dhcp scope or you will cause a ip conflict.

I heard back from Brother tech and set the static IP through one of their utilities.

Thanks for your help.

The issues you normally see when you set the static IP on the device, instead of through the DHCP server, is the IP changes after a power loss or a duplicate IP address.  The duplicate IP address is more likely if the static IP address you set is within the DHCP range.

Don't forget to remove the static IP if you want to connect to a different wireless network.

Or just use a static outside the range. Hence why I never make a range from 2 to 254.

Static IP Reserve Guide | SBG6580

In this complete guide to reserve a static IP address for your SBG6580, we will show you how to reserve an internal IP address using your device’s MAC address. You often do not need to use IP reserve unless you need static IP features such as portfwarding for Xbox or setting up a DMZ. The static IP mentioned here related to the internal IP or LAN IP for your personal network. The external public is assigned by your internet service provider and you have no control over them.

If you are not careful, your internal network can have IP address conflicts. It is generally easier to let your router does the dynamic IP assignments. However, sometimes if your network does suffer IP conflict, setting or reserving static IP address can solve the problem.

Reserving an SBG6580 Internal New IP address through MAC address

Find Out Your Current Device’s MAC address You need your machine’s MAC address to setup IP reservation. Although there are several other methods for you to obtain a device’s MAC address. One of the easiest method is to grab it automatically after the device has connected to the SBG6580 using the DHCP service. You can then find the devices such as Ipad, Iphones, VOIP setup, or ips for cameras.

After you have logged into the router SBG6580 using default ip, login, and pass . Go to Basic > DHCP page. Look below for a list of machines that are currently connected to your SBG6580 router’s network.

For our example, copy the MAC address for the device that you want to reserve an IP for. In our case we use our Ipad’s MAC address. Copy the number into the input area and click Add.

Note: You do not need to input “Hostname” during the static DHCP config ip reservation process. However, doing so is a good idea to identify each of your machines at a later time, especially when you have multiple devices with similar default host names.

It should be noted that if your machine is “active”, you cannot change the IP reservation table without deleting it first.

Unreserving or Deleting Static DHCP IP

On the same screen after you have reserved an IP. You can always delete or unreserve the static IP. Simply select the item and press delete.

Config Motorola mc9100 for a static IP address

I have a multiple Motorola mc9100 that I have to deploy to stores.  I used Active Sync Remote to connect to the scanners by way of the Port smith charging base using the USB connection.  I'm able to go into the Windows Ce & access the following menu Wireless Status Select option #2 which displays Current Profile the proper ESSID is selected.  But the issue is the static IP address and all of the other entries including DNS, & gateway are missing.  Please see embedded image below.  If I return back to the proper profile all my settings are there.  Because of this my scanning gun is not able to communicate with any WAP.  Any assistance  or links to documentation would be welcome .

Looks like the devices aren't getting an address from the DHCP server. You said the proper SSID is selected, but is the device actually connected to that wifi network?

We have the MC-9190 here, but my warehouse crew is not about to let me borrow one so I can't look at it directly right now.  What version of Windows is on your units?  They could be WinCE 5, 6, 6.1, or 6.5 as far as I can tell, and based on the location and style of your start button I'm thinking you're on 5.0.

Regardless, the DHCP vs Static is controlled in the Profile.  When  you are configuring the wireless connection profile there is a flag to enable DHCP and it is on by default.  If you toggle that off you will have two or three more screens in the profile setup wizard where you specify IP, Gateway, and DNS.  With the static values set in the profile, once you connect to it the settings will come into play.  

Fortunately for me, I can run DHCP, so I created a .cab file with the relevant settings and just install that onto each unit as part of my setup.  Networking setup takes me about three seconds, and includes all three WAPs I might connect to.

We use the 9100 and 9200s here.  However, I handed these of to the desktop team after I was sure they worked well a couple of years back.

If you need a static IP, consider using a dhcp reservation instead.  Our MC91/9200 are all DHCP.  The portable printers are DHCP, but have reservations set within DHCP.

If I recall, there are wireless profiles.  Sometimes if people have the wrong access, you end up with multiple profiles.  This can cause connection issues

Ahh... the venerable MC9100's.  I'm so glad I pitched our last ones in the trash over a year ago when the AML Scepters Opens a new window came out.  I literally had shipping and receiving fighting each other for the new guns until I could get enough of them in.   

If I remember though, click on the "Wireless" in the profile screen, and there should be a button called "Fusion" or something that goes into the Wireless configurator.  The option to use DHCP or Static IP addresses should be in there. 

Thanks, for all of your suggestions.  I would prefer to use DHCP for these guns but the company I just started working for doesn't like to use DHCP.

Thanks, for all your suggestions, they were helpful.  I would prefer to use DHCP, but this is a new company that I just signed up for and for some reason they want to use static IP's.

If you can use the same IP for each gun (assuming there will be a max of one at each location) you can simplify the setup by creating a .cab with the predefined configuration, then apply that to each unit. 

You could create .cab files for each unit, storing said .cab on the SD card, so if you need to you could install that config on a replacement unit by swapping in the SD card and installing the .cab.
