Set up static IP address on Bravia AF9

[plasmacel]

I have to set up a static IP address for my Bravia AF9 Android TV. Is it possible to set it on the TV, or sould I set it on the router?

If you want the TV to have a static IP address, set it on the TV and just make sure the gateway is set to the router IP address. I think you also need to input DNS servers manually when you do an advanced setup on the TV.

There should be nothing to do on the router in most normal setups.

Thanks,

Could you describe how/where to do it? I didn't find any related setting in the Android TV Settings.

Hi @plasmacel 

I would start by noting all the settings on the Network status page which will give you all the default settings.

Home -> Settings -> Network -> Advanced settings -> Network status.

In theory the only thing you need to change is the IP Address and make it Static. Make sure that the new Static IP Address is outside of the DHCP range.

Home -> Settings -> Network -> Network setup -> Expert -> IP settings -> Static.

You are on your own from there ...

You can do it as the others described directly on the TV. But, personally I find it easier doing it on the router as you don't need to mess with DNS, gateway, etc settings.

Simply set a static IP in the DHCP router settings for the TV. Then just restart the tv so that the new IP is set.

Never thought about that, but, yes its probably more simple to do that actually.
