How to assign ip using DHCP assignment for Wifi Points

shirishkale — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 16:10:17 GMT

When I check in Google Home App settings for my network, I do see wifi points and devices.

When I check one of the Wifi Points setting I see ip address assigned to that Wifi point but not the MAC address of that wifi point. If I want to assign a specific ip using DHCP assignment, as I do not see the Mac address

How do I do it?

Also the WIFI points do not appear in the connected device list as well, is there a way to show them in that list so that DHCP assignment becomes Simple.

Not sure if this can be done in the Home app

Thanks for the reply. Then this can not be done as settings can not be changed by using a browser or PC/Mac.

Hey folks,

Thanks for lending a hand, @oz21m.

@shirishkale, thanks for posting. To confirm, what kind of Google Wifi router and points do you have? You can check this link for reference. We’ll wait for your update.

Thanks,

Abi

Hey shirishkale,

Thanks for the update. You won’t be able to assign IP addresses to your Google Wifi points but you should be able to see their MAC addresses in your Google Home app. Here’s how:

Open your Google Home app.
Tap on ‘Devices’.
Tap on your Google Wifi point.
Tap the gear icon on the upper right corner of the app.
Tap ‘Device Information’. You should be able to see the MAC address of your Google Wifi point on this page.

Take note that you can only see the MAC address of your main Google Wifi router on the device itself. It’s printed on the bottom part, right next to the serial number.

Let us know if you have any other questions or clarifications and I’ll be happy to assist you.

Best,
Abi
