Anyone know how to add a fixed IP for v2 instead of DHCP?

Thanks

For me, the simplest way was to give them a static dhcp entry. That is, my dhcp server (router in my case) responds to dhcp requests for an ip address from a particular mac with a particular ip address. That way address allocation is all managed from the same place.

connect "networkName" "Password" "172.16.0.35" "172.16.0.1" "255.255.255.0"

I saw that but thought there was a way to do it in the espbasic and not the default.bas.
Will try that...
