Assigning a static IP on the Windows 11 operating system
Fastest Guide to Setting Up Static IP on Win 11
Step 1: Right-click on the Ethernet or WI-Fi icon in the bottom right corner of the Windows 11 screen => select Network and internet settings.
Step 2: In the Network & internet panel, choose Properties under the Ethernet or WI-Fi icon (depending on your network connection status).
Step 3: In the newly appeared properties panel, click Edit next to IP assignment.
Step 4: Switch from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual and IPv4 to On.
Step 5: Configure specific data fields as follows:
- IP Address: Enter the static IP address 192.168.1.X (where X is any number from 1 to 250 within the Wifi range, ensuring it does not duplicate with other devices. If someone else is using this number, you won't access the network)

- Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.1.1
- Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8
