Help / Wi-Fi mode set-up

Give your PC a fixed IP address

Your router hands out addresses such as 192.168.1.24, and may give the PC a different one after a restart. The Wi-Fi QR code contains the address, so a new one breaks the printed QR. A reservation stops that.

About 5 minutes.

1. 1

   Find the PC’s address

   The shop app shows it with the Wi-Fi QR code. Note the numbers before the colon, such as 192.168.1.24.

2. 2

   Open your router’s settings

   Type the router’s address (often 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, printed on the router) into a browser and sign in.

3. 3

   Add a reservation

   Look for “DHCP reservation”, “Address reservation” or “Static lease”. Choose the shop PC from the list of devices and keep its current address.

4. 4

   If the address has already changed

   The shop app tells you: “This PC’s address changed”. Reprint the standee from its banner, then add the reservation so it does not happen again.
