Perhaps a dumb question, but I assigned all the devices in my home a static ip using my router
The title of this thread doesn't make sense to me
Could someone explain, why you would do this using the Obi?
While these are not going to be common, I came up with these as possibilities:
You don't have administrative access to the router.
You don't have sole administrative access to the router, or you fear a software update or factory reset could break your router setup.
You have a VPN and you want the OBi to connect via the VPN.
You want to be able to swap in a new router and keep the same IP.
You want an IP outside of the DHCP range of addresses, and you are not sure that the router can do that.
You just like to do it that way.
