maybe i'm stupid and cant find the setting but how is it possible this device does not have a static IP/dns setting? is there a way to set it up after rooting the device? i just got my NT today and this is a HUGE setback for me since my network is restricted to static IPs not DHCP. Network has 9 pcs/laptops, 6 phones, 3 VOiP, and 2 IPTV Devices. I was trying to get it on the network during initial setup and failed. googled and found a way to skip oobe. still didnt help me
TIA

Not that I know of. Setting a static IP means that the device will only work on that WiFi network and no other (unless it uses the same IP range and mask, AND you guarantee that your static IP will not duplicate another on other networks).
Now, you may be able to guarantee this, but I think you can see that the average consumer (many Nook owners are not computer savvy, let alone network savvy) can get into trouble with a capability like this.
Further, every WiFi router I've seen, has the capability of assigning a specific DHCP IP address to a specific device, based on the MAC address. I would be very surprised if your network can't be easily configured to do the same.
The feature DeanGibson mentioned is called "DHCP reservation" on most current routers, or "static DHCP" for DD-WRT. AFAIK, older routers may not have that feature. I don't recall it for old Netgear and Linksys firmwares, may be others.
If yours don't, suggest upgrading to a new router. Abovesaid feature has most of the benefits of static IP (eg port-forwarding) but without the client-side setup hassle.
so the simple answer is no lol
pretty much sol at this point.. means i will have to reconfig yrs of work
i still think it sad that this device doesn't allow mean to set my own ip.
thanks to the both of you for your input.
Try either of these apps and see if they work for you.

I've been having issues for a month or two and it seems as though I've finally discovered that usually once they start, the highest assigned IP address has always been 192.168.0.11..
Even when I go into the terminal and change my mac address,I still can't get a different IP. Doing the same on my pc and the router is passing out offers in the 20's... Its the story of my life, any fixes??
PS, is it possible to attain closed networks password key with an android?
Is any one out there able to verify if this is or isn't true?
It certainly seems to be the case on hero with both a 2.2 and a 1.5 rom, with what ever router is attached to some open wireless network that I can't afford at the moment.

If you look carefully at the IP address 192.168.0.11, it's a wrong IP, check here for those router default IP addresses.
Where to set "Use static IP" with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that comes with Android 3?
I believe older android devices had that option in settings->Wifi Settings->advance->Checkbox for "Use Static IP". I no more see it with Android 3 in Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Can someone help?
Thanks!
i was wondering about this too. Can't find it anywhere.
i just cancelled the password of the AP,tried connecting again,then i saw the option of setting static IP.
it's not the best solution though...
How about VPN setup support? I use one of the VPN services to access the likes of HULU or BBC. Will I be able to do it on Android 3.x?

Yes, the usual VPN settings section is there, with the same options as on my Nexus One:
PPTP
L2TP
L2TP/IPSec PSK
L2TP/IPSec CRT
Will I be forced to enter VPN password every time I want to connect or will "it" remember?
Hi to you all. I picked up the tab 10.1 today and I need to allocate a static address to this device. iAndroidFan posted a workaround of some kind but I can't replicate it. Can someone possibly post a step by step instruction to perform this simple(?) task.

It sounds to me like you're hitting a bug...
maybe someone with the same device/release can perform a similar test
Setting a static IP...Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510UEKF3)...Android 3.1 Kernel 2.6.36.3..
Try going to Settings\Wi Fi Settings\, wait util you network shows up, long press it until you get a new option to Modify Config (be patient)...scroll down (this is what got me banging my head for two days) ans change settings to static
or Google Xoom forums and in that search for 5382 :how to manually assign ip address)

Did you ever get a response to this or ever figure it out?! I am having major issues with intermittent wifi connection in my house. It doesn't seem to affect the tablet elsewhere. (Though, I've only had this tablet for 3 days!)
it is extremely frustrating to have this intermittent connection problem with wifi.
Thank you.
Is there a way I can set a static IP address for mobile data? Not just wifi
Is anyone aware of an app that I can install on my Nexus One, that when used in conjunction with a server app on a pc, will allow me to see the IP address's of my PC's on my phone. I realize this will most likely only work when my phone is on the same network.
The reason I ask is that I have an old laptop running Boxee hooked up to an old CRT TV(can't afford a newer LCD TV). This works fine for watching video's, but the image quality is such that trying to do anything else such as web browsing(Hulu) or system updates is damn near impossible. So if I have to do anything other than Boxee, I'm just going to VNC into the system. The problem is that the router does not allow for setting up static IP's, and it's not my router so I can't install DD-WRT on it, and it also has a habit of changing the client's IP address in the middle of a session. So if I could install a small server app on the PC that would broadcast it's current IP address, I could then easily pull it up on my phone.
Network Mapper by Ian Hawkins does what u want. And it doesnt need a server app.
Another option is to define a static IP without even involving the router. Just set the IP, gateway, netmask, and DNS servers on your boxee laptop manually, and it will continue to work even without the routers consent! The router isn't likely to be smart enough to actually map the addresses it handed out to the traffic it is routing, so it will just blindly pass the traffic.
Chances are, the router is set up to hand out addresses within a certain region - 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150, or something like that. Most of the time, they will just forward all traffic that is in the entire 192.168.1.x range (or at least some reasonable subnet) What you can do is pick an address that won't be handed out by DHCP (192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.250 or something), and set that manually on boxee. You'll be able to tell pretty quickly if it works! On the off-chance that the router DOES care, you can also try picking an address that is within the range of addresses being handed out, but on the upper end. Realistically, those almost never get used!
Static IP support on the router is nice because you don't have to do any configuration on the client, but if you're willing to put that configuration in (one time), you can get the same results. Worth trying out! That's what we all used to do before routers got fancy (and hacked) to include those cool features.
dyndns updater keeps it in sync and you can always log in online and see your ip address if your router has randomized it

Today I bought GS3. Im trying to connect it with my home Wi-Fi router with DHCP. It accepts the key, sets "getting ip-address" for status and after 1 minute waiting it disconnects. If i look at the list of DHCP-Clients at my router, i see the following entry: android-aa086625ÿÿÿÿþÿÿÿ
Setting the IP-address to static solves the problem. Do you know why it doesnt work with dynamic?

Im not sure mate,
I would asign it a static ip address anyway because its easier for if you set anything extra up later on which relies on inputting a defined address.
I had this same thing with my old netgear router and a nexus s. I resolved it the same way you have done.
How big is your DHCP pool? Is it a /24?

Looking at that it seems that there is no reason why your phone should not be accepting a DHCP allocation.
Maybe the router and phone are just incompatible...
Have you tried with another router?

I found out how to make my GS3 work with dynamic IP. As I supposed the problem was the host name mentioned above. It was probably too long for DHCP-server. After changing it with this app, connection worked trouble-free.
Maybe this info will be useful for someone
Got a free n200 through tmobile to use as a hotspot device for my pc. I was previously getting the job done by using a galaxy note 3 and setting my pc's ttl to 65 but apparently that doesn't work with the newer phones.
I did some searching online and haven't been able to get a definitive solution to bypassing the hotspot throttle, as people seem to have varying results.
Had a lot of issues with PDAnet+, so it's definitely not a long-term solution for me.
Just sent an unlock request to OnePlus, hopefully by next week I'll get the unlock file and I'll root the phone. I'm assuming that rooting the phone will expand my options for what I want to do. Anyone have a solution that worked for them?
Yo, it's like dns hijacking, in fact, this is what you have to do to bypass this.
I'll paint a scenario, see what you make of it...
I plug my sim into a wifi router, in the control panel of this router, I set the wifi to use the 2nd ip, (yes, all isp's actually give you 2 ip's, one that is public, one the isp use's to spy on you, and the one you see in your ethernet card, usually 192.168.1.1.
Your wifi router runs adb, so it is on a different network, being 192.168.0.1, if you set your connecting device to your public ip shown by the router, and nxbogus domain your isp's private number seen in the router, (usually 100.whatever) and their dns, then set your prefered dns in the connecting device, you will bypass the throttling, but you will notice something else...
They throttle you by lowering your phones coverage lol...
Notice in your wifi setup pages your signal will drop from say 75% to 25%, and if you check the config logs, you'll see your limited 90% by the isp..
Yup, I'm isp level in this department..
didn't understand half of what you said. can you break it down a lil bit more?

yea i'm using easytether rn, very similar to foxfi and pdanet+... not a permanent solution however, as it tends to randomly disconnect and i often get kicked out of games due to "network lag". Speeds are exponentially faster than the throttled hotspot, however, so i wont complain.
still, would be nice if there was a solution to this for the native hotspot/tether features... tried everything with apns and changing the ttl on the phone but it didn't work.
looks like someone found a solution for the moto g 5g here, maybe i'll try to implement this for the n200, could be a possible workaround.

moto g solution you posted requires a special kernel. usb tethering through PDAnet+ paid version works fine, the key is you dont enable it thru the native tethering, instead enable USB tethering through the PDAnet app and leave the phone on charging mode so it can make a ADB connection. Make sure ADB is working and you can establish a working adb connection from PC to phone first prior to attempting to tether since it will use ADB. i get full speeds tethering using the paid version.

yeah i've been doing this via easy tether, gets the job done for the most part
For me, PDAnet has low throughput while EasyTether runs full speed and can be used with OpenWRT. They both disconnect randomly though.
No reason to deal with that if you have root. AdGuard+VPNHotspot+noprovisioning is easy to setup and works fine for most networks.

Only connection is WAN to WAN!
Ok, first, I use an lte wifi router, enter gui, goto lan, change router login ip to any ip not 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, the latter is hidden in router, but when trying to connect 2nd router, using this ip, problems appear, because the 1st router has adb enabled due to the lte section of 1st router being android 6, and uses's it.
So in effect, I set 1st routers address to 192.168.1.5, 255.255.254.0, 192.168.1.3 ie, this is 1st router login address. In the 2nd router I set mac address of 1st router to use 192.168.1.3, having been set in the 1st.
I do this because if I set 2nd router to match 1st routers address, the 2nd router auto changes address, when plugged in to first, and the 1st router changes too.
So now that you can goto 192.168.1.1 in 2nd router with 1st plugged in, try 192.168.1.3.
First part over, now the tricky part...
Disconnect 2nd router (this Will become your MAIN router)
Start 1st router with sim in, only to obtain public ip, because you need to set this ip in WAN of 2nd router. If your ip changes every reboot, you need to check public ip from first router match's what you set the wan ip to in 2nd router.
Now when you are in 1st router's network/lan settings, look for option to use 2nd ip. enable it, in the ip box put your public ip, ie your internet ip, and remove all access to anything else, including disabling wifi, both 2.5 and 5g.
So now plug in 2nd router WAN to first routers WAN.
Go into 2nd router, and block the PRIVATE ip seen in 1st router, the ip the isp shows you, and NX=bogusdomain your isp's private dns
In your WAN page of 2nd router, set preferred dns.
Voila.
70-80% increase in response.
The hardware method to block dns hijacking
Ps any reboot of the first router will change its ip due to being lte, so remember to check 2nd router match's after any power outage...
