Hi,
I want to define a static ip but for a wifi connection.
I found example for Eth0 but not for wlan0
I have tried in /etc/network/interfaces:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.255
but I when I reboot and look with ifconfig the ip is Ok, but my network wifi doesn’t work.
How I can fix this ?
Thanks for your help.
Hi @thierry_sco
Did you try @sergi.riera ’s post:
i managed to do it,
first we need to go to “/etc/default/networking” and change the parameter “CONFIGURE_INTERFACES” to “no”
CONFIGURE_INTERFACES=no
then the configuration in “/etc/network/interfaces” works.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.180
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
Hope it works
Hi,
Thanks for your quick answer and help.
But Eth0, change the IP for a connection with a rj45 network not for Wifi, and I need to have a static IP for Wifi.
I have try :
Uncomment the line “CONFIGURE_INTERFACES” with no, and write :
> auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.180 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
but the same problem occurs after reboot, my network stop to find any wifi, but the ip of wlan0 is ok.
Do you have an other idea ?
Thanks
I’m not sure but you can add in /etc/network/interfaces:
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
Source:
static-ip, wlan
Hi many thanks,
My conclusion: it is not possible to set a static IP address for wlan0 because wlan0 uses the ipv4 of each connection.
In other words, you can define a static wifi IP address for a specific network (your box), but not for all.
