Is it possible to set a static IP address for the RTK Reference Station wifi interface?

I know you can do it for ethernet, but could not find a setting for the wifi.

Thanks!

Currently a user cannot modify the static IP that is used during WiFi AP mode. It is coded to 192.168.1.4. This is (currently) hard coded and can be changed. Can you help me understand why you may want to change it?

I don’t want to change the AP IP. I want to change the WiFI client IP address that is currently set using DHCP.

I would like the WiFi to use a fixed static address, so that there isn’t any chance of it changing from day to day. I realize I can configure my DHCP server to force a specific IP based on the device’s MAC address, but it would be easier to just configure a static ip on the device itself, if that is possible.

I was going to suggest your method; hop into your router’s config page and you should be able to give it a static IP based on its MAC

I did just that and works nicely - thanks!
