Fixed IP Address (or sometimes called Reserve IP Address)

I have a Sky Max Hub which has very restricted configuration settings.

 

How do I fix an IP address, or what is someties referred to as reserving an address?   I have a couple of devices which need to always have the same address on my home network.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

@Doug14 Sky support are wrong and @iwaddo is correct you can fix an IP address using the hub's web interface. Enter 192.168.0.1 into a browser log in using admin as the user and thecwifi password on the hub as the psssword. Select connected devices click on the device you want and you will see a screen with the option to reserve the IP do thst and click save

Are you attempting to administer the Hub through the web interface (which is indeed very limited) or the My Sky app?

The MySky app.   I did not realise there was even an option to administer though a web interface.   Sky support have said there is no browser support.

Sky technical support have now definitively advised that the configuration menu on the max hub does not permit IP reservation.

I believe you can reserve an IP for a device in the device list using the web interface.
