![]() Then after setting the static IP in the printer, the computer(s) must be updated under Printer Properties/Ports to show a Standard TCP/IP port with the printers IP address. ![]() Verify your DHCP range and change this first if needed. This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. You always want your printer to come up with the same IP address all the time. This Static IP is important as DHCP IP addresses will change upon different power up sequences of your devices. Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). Set Printer Static IP to 192.168.1.10 (or 192.168.0.10).Īfter setting the static IP, the computer(s) must be updated under Printer Properties/Ports to show a Standard TCP/IP port with the printers’ new static IP address.ġ. Make things simple – In the router, set starting DHCP address range 192.168.1.100 (or 192.168.0.100). Again, do not have the printers static IP within the DHCP range of the router as this is against Networking 101 rules and will confuse the router. This is because printers are the only external devices that do not have the ability to automatically interrupt the router for a new DHCP address once the least time expires. ![]() While DHCP is convenient, devices such as printers (wired and wireless) should always be assigned a static (fixed) IP address manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network and MUST be outside the DHCP address range of the router. ![]() These settings are for setting up your wireless or wired printers to:
