Cannot set static IP in 2.0.0.0/8 range

Issues
1

Hi,

I wanted to use WLED in an artnet network and I set the IP to 2.0.0.10/255.0.0.0 which is unfortunately the range that is used by many artnet setups (yes its not a local IP) but WLED does not seem to accept this because it instead assigned itself an IP it got from a dhcp server on the network…

could it be that WLED does not accept an IP in the 2.0.0.0/8 range?

cheers

What did you set the gateway to? Often reverting to DHCP is due to the static IP fields not being filled out.

Since there is no gateway on the network I left it at 0.0.0.0 but I will try if the the static IP is honoured if I fill it out.

Hey all! Ive been working on an open source artnet and sacn led pixel node that might be interesting for your guys’ project! Static IP works perfect out of the box. check out GitHub - mdethmers/ESP32-Artnet-Node-receiver: ESP32 based artnet node to push 16 universes of LED pixels at 40fps · GitHub if you want to get or build a node yourself. They are cheap so you can plaster them everywhere!
