What device do you have as router?
btw this is the way that routing should be. Never go for static ip on your devices, only on the routers you assign them to your devices. So you have a central point where to admin them. If you ever change ip ranges you will have one point to arrange it instead to have to go to each device and assign it on it.

ssmith: Thanks! Configuration file as the only way - huh, I really didn't think of that. I've never seen that with any network device.

Yes, and every good router let's you set static ip's for devices on the router while leaving dhcp active for other devices. You reserve best a range of ip's for static ip's and the rest can be dynamic.

Static ip adresses should be set on your router, via dhcp and there you should assign a static ip…
DHCP = DYNAMIC host configuration protocol ≠ static!!!

Static ip adresses should be set on your router, via dhcp and there you should assign a static ip. That is the best way, better then doing it on your printer.

How to set a Static IP Address from Prusa's support pages...?

... it's not heresy, or I'm as guilty as you 😀

I have one heretical question: How can I set a static IPv4 address on the Ethernet port? If I use DHCP, the address is assigned. If I set a static address, the IP stack settings disappear and there is no way to set it. Or at least I haven't found a way to do it. Firmware 6.5.3 If this has been discussed here somewhere or there is a guide for it, then I'm sorry, I couldn't find it.

Best regards
