Wireless to Ethernet with Fixed IP
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello, is there any router that can receive wireless signal and convert it to a wired ethernet connection that can support fixed IP?
I have purchased a one but once i'm in that mode it automatically changes to DHCP.
My network is a wireless only network that requires fixed IP. I have a wired device. I have no idea to set those up.
Thanks!

Dear @ORMLTD ,
I assume you need a device that supports WISP Client (AP Client Router) mode.
Please check the configuration guide below to verify if it's what you need.

Thank you very very much for your help!
I actually purchased
TL-WR802N
300Mbps Wireless N Nano Router
and tried that mode, but unfortunately the client mode requires dynamic IP, and automatically flips to DHCP.
Is there another model that supports that mode but offers fixed IP?
Thank you so much!

@ORMLTD The TL-WR802N will work. All you have to do is to go to Network->Lan and change the type to 'static ip' AFTER you switch to client mode. I have the same device and I can set a static ip easily.

@EapNinja Thanks for your help!
Sorry I did not explain myself clearly. that static IP setting changes the IP of the wired device, but it does not give the router a static IP.
I have a network that only allows particular MAC / static IP combo, so I need the router to have a static IP instead of the wired device.
Is that possible?
Thanks!

Try configuring the TL-WR802N as WISP Client Router Mode by referring to the guide below.

Note: at Step 5 from the guide above, you could select Static IP and input the IP info that allowed by your network.
