1. Determine a static IP address that you’d like to assign to your computer. Usually a static IP address is outside of the range of the DHCP server, so that it can never conflict with a dynamically assigned IP.
2. Log into your router’s admin page. On most routers this is accessed by typing in “192.168.1.1” or “192.168.0.1” into a web browser. Sometimes there is a username and password required for security.
3. Look for an option in the router settings called “DHCP Reservations” or “Static Leases”.
4. Input the static IP address you determined earlier, along with the name of the computer (or its MAC address) you want to assign it to.
5. Now open the Control Panel on your computer, and select “Network Connections.”
6. Right–click on the network adapter you want to configure and select “Properties.”
7. Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click “Properties.”
8. Select “Use the following IP address” and enter the static IP address you chose earlier, along with the subnet mask and default gateway associated with it.
9. Click “OK” to save the new settings. Your computer now has a static IP address.
