I have some new ESP32-POEs I am trying to run wled on. I have them set up with v0.14.3. I have Ethernet set to ESP-32-POE. When I set a static IP address, I get a green light on the ESP32 indicating it has an IP. When I connect over the wled’s AP I can see it lists its Client IP as the correct address including (etherent), but I can connect to it over ethernet.
When I use DHCP I can connect to the board over ethernet, but I would rather have a static IP on the board rather than set from a router.
Thanks

Not exactly clear what address works and via what interface (wired or WiFi) from your description.
A “green light” (on the Ethernet port?) doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve got an IP address.
Did you load a ETH32 version of WLED on that board?
Where did you get the .bin file?
One other note, make sure you have the subnet mask and gateway entered correctly for the hardwired interface. Others have noted that sometimes it takes a cold boot (power cycle) to get the settings to “catch”.
Thanks for the reply and sorry I wasn’t clear.
I used the Ethernet option from here https://install.wled.me/
I have an address from wired DHCP, I have AP access from WLED.
What I don’t have is ethernet access from a static IP set in wled.
Also I set gateway and subnet.
Thanks

Can you get a wired address from DHCP that works?
Can you ping the static address coded into WLED?
Are you sure the static address is “valid” to your router?
Some routers won’t recognize a static address inside their DHCP pool (or vice versa).
You could try another address.
Thanks I download the bin file from github release page and used that, and it now seems to be working.
Thanks
Steve
Glad you got it working!
I would reserve the IP in your router. Just setting it in WLED will not for sure get you that IP address. If something on your network grabs it while the WLED device is disconnected you will have issues. If you reserve the address in the router it will only assign it to that device.
