Can't configure a static IP address on ratgdo

[pfurrie]

Version: 2.56 and 2.57

When configuring ratgdo the first time, it picks up a DHCP address of 10.15.15.235. Then I enter a new address in the IP Address field. Click the "Save Config & Reboot" button and...

When I'm prompted to log back on to the ratgdo device, it is still using the original DHCP-acquired address. The specific address I'd given was ignored.

Am I missing something? Is that IP address field not meant for setting an address, just showing whatever address is currently in-use?

I had a similar problem with static IP addresses. Seemed like it worked the first time and then every other time I made a chance (reflashing, updating config settings) no matter what I did in the unifi network app it stayed with the old IP. The two ESPHome ratgdo's it was a one and done setting and they are fine. Something tells me its a DHCP release thats needed, but not sure how to do that from the ratgdo, guessing you have to get to the command promp somewhere.

Personally, I prefer setting DHCP addresses within my router - I have found it to be the most reliable (as well as shows all static IPs in one place).

Are you able to configure yours from your router?

[pfurrie]

Yes, I can, but that's beside the point. The docs for ratgdo say the IP address can be set (non DHCP) but it can't do what it claims.

On the GitHub IO website, the page concerning configuration::

https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/02_configuration.html

It says:

• IP Address - Will be filled in automatically with the DHCP address, but can also be set manually.

Thanks. I will correct it.

Bummer. Was this not possible to do?
