A static IP address, as the name suggests, is an IP address that doesn't change. Once you assign a Static IP address to your router, it will stay the same until further changes were made.

You might need to assign a Static IP address in the following situations:

  • Access your computer when faw away from home
  • Set up a file server
  • Share a printer over the network
  • Perform other advanced networking tasks
