@Alexandre. 

 

Thank you for your suggestion, your solution works like a charm. As soon as I realize the satellites' IP was dynamically assigned, I just need to reserve IP for the server and power-cycle the whole system.

 

Have a good one!

 

Best,

Zhe

@TP-Link_Deco 

Any news on this issue?

 

In my case, I need fixed IPs for them because I run monitoring tasks and stuff via Fing, IFTTT and some other stuff.

I'm not usually at home and it can be pretty hard figuring out what's what, after a power outage for example.

I planned to add more Decos to the network (the house is really, really big) but this limitation kind of discourages me from going ahead, because it would be a mess for me to manage. The Decos would keep going all around the devices list, and I could lose track of what's online/offline in my remote panels.

 

Why isn't it possible to assign fixed IPs to them, to start with? It's a nonsense limitation, if you ask my opinion.

 

Thank you!
