In situations like slow network speed or accessing blocked websites, setting a static IP can boost network speed and easily access blocked sites. While setting a static IP on a computer may be straightforward for some, doing so on an Android phone, especially a Samsung device, isn't widely known. Therefore, in this article, TechTricksSoftware.com will guide you through the steps to set a static IP on an Android phone, specifically a Samsung device. Let's get started.
Step 1: Navigate to the Wi-Fi settings, then long-press on the connected Wi-Fi network and select Network settings
Step 2:
Step 3: At this point, other options will appear. In the IP settings section, switch from DHCP to Static.
Then, we can enter a new IP address in the IP Address field.
The IP address will be in the format 192.168.1.X
Where X is a value from 1 to 255. Make sure to choose a value that doesn't overlap with the IP address of other devices in case multiple devices have static IPs. If it overlaps, network access will be unavailable, and you'll need to choose a different value.
You can further customize your phone's DNS settings in this section by entering values into the DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields. For instance, the DNS shown in the image above is Google's DNS, which is widely used and offers fast network speeds.
So, with just a few simple steps, we've successfully set a static IP on the phone. We hope you find this article helpful. Wishing you success!
